So if I don't want them eating microwave mac 'n cheese (but it's organic...) and frozen veggies every night, I have to step up my game!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-62716025972427572112013-01-18T23:46:01.680-05:002013-01-18T23:46:01.680-05:00Easy - I don't cook dinner until dad gets home...Easy - I don't cook dinner until dad gets home!!!

I'll definitely try "chef's helper" - I think they'd both be pretty excited about that.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-85395831719878168132013-01-17T14:02:18.929-05:002013-01-17T14:02:18.929-05:00A partial fix could be to designate a "Chef&#...A partial fix could be to designate a "Chef's Helper" for each day or every other day (so they know that there can only be one of them in the kitchen with you on that day) - if every other day, they both have to stay out because it's "Chef's Special/Surprise" or something. Don't know how they'd respond to alternating that role on different days, but it would minimize the bodies! Maybe host an "Iron Chef" challenge, in which they have to come up with a "play food" dinner downstairs while you're cooking? (you can specify each day what has to be included - soup? salad? dessert?)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356727857747747897noreply@blogger.com
