About 20 years ago one of my aunts diligently collected recipes from various family members and friends and created a cookbook. It wasn’t very sophisticated, there were no photographs or anecdotes and it was typed and photocopied on loose leaf paper. I think we each provided a binder for our individual copy. I still use some of those delicious recipes and every time I browse through that binder it brings back memories of special family celebrations, casual backyard barbeques, and picnics in the park. Of course the most treasured of those memories are of the cooks themselves, because cooking good food is an important tradition in our family.

What is the attraction of project like a family cookbook? The obvious purpose is to preserve some of the best of family recipes that have handed down through generations. Many of us have recipes written on scraps of paper, faded and splotched, and tucked away in various places, hard to find when we want them. Or, we’ve lost grandmother’s recipe for lemon loaf or chocolate cake and can’t duplicate it exactly.

One of the most difficult things about remodeling your home or just trying to add a few elements that will spice things up and make your life a little more beautiful, is going around to the different hardware stores searching for the perfect knobs, mirrors, bathroom vanities, faucets and other décor you need to create the perfect finishing touches.

Cooking is one of the most enjoyable activities that parents can do with their kids. Every child should experience the fun of creating healthy meals in the kitchen and it should not be a place reserved just for mom.

Healthy cooking with kids is beneficial to both parents and kids. Children can learn essential living skills such as how to cook and how to be organized. They can also apply the knowledge that they have learned in school; for example addition and subtraction in math. Moms can ask simple questions such as, “If we are serving one muffin per guest and we have five guests, how many muffins should we bake?” This type of question is fun for kids and they get to use math in a real world way. As the kids get older they can learn about ratio, weight, and even science in the kitchen.

When kids are given simple tasks like spreading jam on bread using a blunt knife, it lets them practice using their eyes and hand and helps improve their motor skills and coordination. By completing each task, the kids will gain more confidence and they will become independent because they know they can do anything if they put their mind to it.
