That's great! I think he'll come around and change his eating habits. And I would definitely encourage him to create! I'd even get him an apron and a chef's hat! Betty Crocker had a children's cookbook out (I still have one that is about 45 years old) and maybe you could get him one - see what he thinks and what he would like to try from it.

These are all great ideas. Thanks for the input. I have also seen an Emeril children's cookbook somewhere, I think? I was going to see if I could find that one. He thinks Emeril is, "sweeeeeet." That is what he calls anything and anyone he likes. I will try to find one of those cookbooks for him. He also loves to help me bake, but I think that is just so he can scope out the bowl when I am finished. He has no problem eating the sweet stuff.

LOL - he is quite the "chef" - the bottom of the bowl child! They all do that - it's the best part of baking and of course - sweets always go down best!

Welcome, and I know you will find a ton of ideas on here, I know I have. My kids favorites are the same as yours and probably every other child in the world LOL. I just bought my boys an easy bake oven for Christmas, so we will see how that goes.

Welcome! My 2 year old is already cooking. I think it is never to early to start a child in the kitchen. It is great bonding time and teaches kids creativity and math skills as well. Kayleigh always counts out how many teaspoons of this or that and how many cups of sugar or flour. What a great teaching tool. Well goodbye for now and good luck.
