The other day as Eliana was getting ready for a nap, she looked up at me with a shy little smile and said, “I want to make a recipe.” She went on to tell me that she wanted to make “Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream Sandwiches.” I told her to think about how we would make them and that we would talk more about it after her nap. So later that day, I asked Eliana to tell me about the recipe without adding in any of my ideas. (For example, I would probably try mixing peanut butter and berries to

Well, did you know that clean hands are a chef’s most important tool? Yes they are! It’s especially essential that our little kitchen helpers have extra clean hands when they assist us in the kitchen.
