One of our cooking projects with Mo was waffles. While I pre-measured the ingredients and lined everything up on the counter, Robb rounded up our little chef.
First, we all washed our hands and donned our aprons. I think the donning of aprons is Mo's favorite part of cooking. Robb wore a Valentine apron made by Great Aunt Sissy, Mo wore a green checked apron that was made for me as a child by Barbara Streaker (my namesake), and I wore a white and pink apron made by Theresa.
Sukey could feel the excitement buzzing in the kitchen and came to see what was going on.
Up on the step stool, Mo's first task was to mix the dry ingredients together in the big bowl. At first she was tentative, but then she gained confidence and enthusiasm.
Robb tried to deflect everything that was flying out of the bowl. But you know what they say: you can't make a dozen waffles without spilling a cup of flour...
Mo was really concentrating.
Then we added the wet ingredients. Robb assisted with the mixing.
The batter looked good. So just when Mo's attention was fading, Robb got her cleaned up, and I took over cooking the waffles.
Fast forward a bit, and we have a bag of Mo-made waffles ready for the freezer.
And the next morning I warmed them up in the toaster, and Mo enjoyed a breakfast that she made herself!

Bug used to like waffles every day and then stopped but suddenly today wanted them again. I recently got Eggos for Roo...not ideal and not allergy friendly at all. We're busy moving and I haven't been doing our grocery shopping at our normal store. Thanks for the reminder about how easy freezer waffles are, will be at the top of the to do list when we get moved into the new house. I promised Bug I'd buy his waffles this weekend, which are far better than Eggos anyway. Looks like she had a lot of fun, and she's so cute too!
Still getting used to the "new home" pictures. It is so bright and cheerful. Love the Donning of Aprons. Seems like there should be a musical fanfare....
Those waffles look good enough to mail? That is what Grandpa would say :)
Thanks for the pictures. WE LOVE THEM
Tmomma - We're trying to wean ourselves off the Eggos. Once I made a couple of homemade batches I realized how comparatively expensive the store-bought waffles are. Good luck with your move (is it this weekend?)! I wish I didn't work on Saturdays. I would be right there with you.
Theresa - Yay, I'm glad the pictures arrived! I need to take some more house pictures and send them along. Maybe that will be my big project for this week. Sorry Rick, I don't think the waffles would keep in the mail. Love to you all!
