Iron Chef-t

As kids we had "Kitchen Jobs." One position held on the Kitchen Jobs, Job Chart was the Kitchen Helper. This past week Mom started up this position in our family. Each child was given the title of Chef for the night. They got to plan the meal with Grandma Mutti and then help her make it. We hoped this would not only teach cooking skills, but also diminish the amount of whining at the table about certain foods put on their plates.
