DJ and his daddy made a Mega Vegetable Tortellini Soup this weekend.
It was some kinda delicious!
After picking up vegetables from the market, we headed home to make the soup.
He really loves to help out in the kitchen.
DJ loves hearing the story of the Stone Soup so, we thought it would be really fun to read this while the soup was simmering on the stove.
This book is actually recommended for children ages 4-8 but, we put a twist on the story and made it really exciting and easy to understand for a 3 year old.
Don't try skipping a page, he knows the sequence of the book
and it's a LONG book but, well worth it.
If you're looking for a really cute story and a way to incorporate fun while cooking with kids,
I highly recommend this book.
Of course daddy pointed out the woman went to get the beef bones from the dog house so, you know I was thrown off a bit but, the story overall was really cute and DJ was so proud of the soup he made with daddy.
I helped too.
Who do you think was taking all the photos? Haha!
DJ's favorite thing to do, Help Daddy!!
Check out DJ. You know he is really concentrating.
We gave him a spatula to use for a knife and he was dead serious about helping.
Peeling garlic, cutting up an onion, his eyes started burning poor baby!
Tortellini Soup

I love reading your posts Tanyetta. You are such a good mom!
This is just too cute!
wow that does look pretty good. I'm so bad, my girls wanna cook in the kitchen and I shoo them away. I need to do what you all did and make sh*t they can help with.
YAY!!! love that story.
Bon apetit! The soup looks delicious!
*sigh* Maybe one day I'll have a son to help me make dishes. *sigh*
I remember that book.
We did that too.
awww thanks for the walk down memory lane.
you have two cute men there. :)
Oh yum, that's my kind of meal. i am going to give it a try!
BTW,someone else told me to get that book but I haven't as of yet. Not sure what I am waiting on though.
(I am hanging my head in shame)hehehe you know why
That is so sweet!
You are a great mom....just in case you don't already know :)
I was just wondering about making this soup. I'll have to try this or another recipe version. Thanks!
It seems that there are many versions of the original book. I'll have to keep a lookout for it.
Julia does say from time to time, if she can help, but is easily distracted.
DJ seems so focused even with his "spatula."
Awww, I notice hubby in a lot of photos cooking. Sure wish my Greg could cook!!!
The soup is in my forbidden color scheme of food. I prefer darker dishes, lol. So if it's like chicken and dumplins or something like stone soup, lol then I won't eat it.
