I'm so excited to start a new adventure here on this li'l blog of mine. The older Jacob gets (Jaden too), the more I realize how much we still have to teach him.

Cooking is one of those skills he really enjoys and also one skill I'd love for him to have when he eventually leaves the nest and begins his own life adventures. He chose to take a cooking class at homeschool group, and he absolutely loves it. He's been brimming with ideas.

For now, you may see a few older recipes we've enjoyed in the past; but every so often, we'll share a new kid-friendly recipe.

It'll be Jacob's creation, along with a bit of my guidance, but mostly his own; sometimes Jaden might jump in too. He'll come up with what we're making, and we'll share it here.

Mmmm, this is such a yummy dinner, and the kids love it. Jacob actually made this for us a couple of months ago.

It was so delicious we decided to make it again, but with just a few tweaks. This time he wanted to add sausage, zucchini, and peppers.

This definitely gave him the opportunity to practice his chopping skills. We made individual pot pies in little ramekin dishes, but you could even make this in one big casserole dish.

Once our sauce was finished, we layered cheese and sauce in the half-cooked biscuit crust. Then we baked each pizza pot pie according to the instructions below.
