Cooking with some Characters

Meet my partner Hillary.  She has been my 2nd spouse for the last few weeks.  I couldn't ask for a better cooking "other half."

She is a character.  A hard-working, amazing cooking, fast dish-washing character!  We were serious business about this cooking camp.  But at the end of a long, sweaty day, we would get a serious case of the giggles just reflecting back on our insanity!

These little characters made this camp a success.  One of my favorite things this week was seeing eyes light up while fingers chopped and stirred.  I was so proud of these little chefs.  I loved watching them pick basil from my backyard, stir the marinara sauce, push carrots into the food processor, roll up their very own taquito, press together 2 chocolate wafers and see the filling squish out, and dip the butter cookies in chocolate.  And the best sight was the smiles and the excitement that appeared when they each saw what they had made.


Characters welcome in my kitchen anytime!
