I started this thing with my kids that they each need to learn how to cook so when the move out on their own they will be prepared. Andrew does awesome at it and has even taken cooking classes at school cause he enjoys it soo much. Well Lexi started showing interest in doing harder cooking now and not just basic. I had soo much fun with Lexi Tuesday night. She decided that she wanted to cook something more advanced so she pulled out my Hooters Cook book and flipped through it and picked a receipe. So after school Tuesday we had everything to make the Mini meat loaves except for sausage so she walked through the grocery store picked out the sausage and a vegetable and went home and got started. She was soo cute scrubbing the potatoes and mixing all the ingredients for her meal. She of course made me mix it with my hands cause there was no way she was going to touch it. But she thought it was a riot to stuff the meat mixture inside of the cup cake pans. The house smelled sooo dang good all the kids kept walking in and saying how delicious everything smelled. You did an awesome job Lex best meal this week by far!! I highly recommend the receipe. For just one pan of 12 it calls for 1 lb hamburger, 1 lb ground sausage (mild) 1/4 chopped green pepper, 1 garlic clove pressed, can use chopped onion (opt), 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs, 2 eggs, salt and pepper to taste, 2 TBSP Woercheshire sauce, mix and press in greased cup cake tins and bake for 30 min on 400 delish !!! It was such a learning experience for her between the corn bread the meatloaf receipe and the stuffed potatoes she got a lot of math practice in with all the measurements.
