Budding Chef

Alex loves to help me bake and often asks if we can make something together. Today at breakfast he asked if we could make pie. Since we were waiting around for a contractor to come look at something for us, I figured we might as well have a project to occupy our morning. I started to get out the flour and butter, but Alex quickly dismissed those ingredients. He had his own plan. We pulled a chair over to the counter and Alex brought with him a handful of grapes left from his breakfast. He also requested the apple juice from the fridge and a pie plate.

He mixed his ingredients together:

Then he decided he needed to make "mussins" (muffins).
We took out a muffin tin and he got to work!




Once he'd distributed his apple juice among the muffin cups,
he asked for raisins. He took such care in putting raisins in each of the cups!


Finally, we were able to taste his creation. He declared, "That a good recipe Mama!"
