Have you ever questioned why teaching children to cook is no longer a thing?
.... You see all these fast food places taking over.
So many people are just deciding that it is easier to go out to eat than learning what for
me has always been a basic skill.
Military kids have to have as many skills as they can get. Life is hard enough without
going out in the world not knowing how to care for yourself.
So My older two have been learning to cook simple fun recipes. She searched pinterest,
had a set budget and had full control of what she was going to make.
She has been learning so many skills and I love getting help with some of my things around our house. I have enough to do being a stay at home mom with four kids to care for plus my husband of course.
For her first big meal, Hayley made a wonderful dish from another blogger. ( Click Here for the awesome recipe. )
The love she has for learning to cook even though it is in the crock pot is so exciting.
She knows that no matter what at least she will not starve once she goes off to college.
( though she wants to live with her Nonna and Papa for college )
Watching your child learn is the most amazing thing.
This wasn't a difficult recipe to make by any means but oh let me tell you it was actually really good.
She stayed in budget and is so proud to know that the skills she is learning right now will be skills she will use her whole life.
After Breakfast Hayley took on the task of wanting to make something fun.
She wanted to go get some scones from our favorite bakery here on post but it simply was not in our new Dave Ramsey budget.
She found a prepackaged scone mix and gave it a try!
The Sticky Fingers Bakeries Premium Scone Variety Mix was perfect
for her to try out. She loved how simple it was and how for once she could understand clearly what the directions are. She often gets very annoyed with baking directions.
These took only 15 minutes to bake and they were amazing!
If you're looking for a fun and simple scone for you or your child to make.
I highly recommend giving these a try.
