Taco Tuesday

I've had this thought recently... I've been thinking about Ty.  And things to come.  This kid is going to have to know how to cook.  He can't rely on fast food and quesadillas in college like I did.  And there is a good chance that once he does marry- his wife wont' have a clue what gluten free is.  He has to know about his food and how to put it together.  So we started Kidd's Kitchen, a Gluten Free Cooking School for Kids.  Okay- really it's just me and Ty- but the title made it sound so much more official!  I gave Ty the task of fixing dinner- I gave him plenty of warning and set out some ideas.  He was actually more excited about this than I thought he was going to be.  He found a dinner idea and a recipe all on his own- tacos!

So I helped him read the recipe and gather the ingredients.  Obviously I browned the beef, but he had to measure out the spices and he stirred it all together.  He also put together the rice and helped me cook some beans on the stove.  He was in heaven!  Which made me think... why didn't I do this sooner??



Ty was beaming when he helped set the table and everyone came to eat.  My sister and her husband came over to eat with us- and they were so sweet to "ooo" and "awwww" in all the right places.  Although... when you come right down to it- the tacos were really good!  I didn't fake any of my "yummy" noises!  I wonder what he'll make next week...
