Caleb can be a pretty big help in the kitchen sometimes. Most days, he's "little chef", while I get to be "big chef". However, Saturday night, it was his turn to be "big chef" for the first time. I found a fun recipe in a Kraft Food & Family magazine called "Volcano Meatballs". Of course, any conversation you have that includes the words "volcano" and "food", a boy is hooked. He did SO great and we were pleased that his dinner turned out delicious!!!
Here's Caleb rolling out the meatballs. He was a little hesitant at first, but once I assured him it was okay to get dirty when you cook, it was all good. He giggled the whole time!
Next, he stuffed the meatballs with mozzarella cheese cubes. The only hard part of this step was convincing him not to eat the cheese while he had raw meat on his hands. Not to worry, I can be pretty darn convincing at times! "Little Chef" Mommy got to put them in the oven.
Then, he coated each piece of bread with garlic butter for "Little Chef" Mommy to toast. YUM
And here is the finished product! Volcano Meatball Subs! We had salad to go with it, but that wasn't a very exciting picture.
Of course, we can't be in the kitchen without Cole, so here is a picture of what he did to "help out".
Caleb, I want to cook with a cookin' hat!
