That looks so good! I wonder if I could convince the kids to eat it!
Thanks, Simcha. Ask the kids to help you prepare it. Let them suggest what they want for the filling. When it’s done, they will be eager to taste the work of their beautiful hands.
Good thinking! I find I like involving the kids in baking but not in normal cooking as it just makes everything take too long.
That’s good that they’re already involved in baking. Get them involved in normal cooking too. Let them take turns preferably weekends in deciding what to cook. Whoever decides, gets to coordinate things, with you in charge.
