Cooking with Aunt Beffie

We have been so lucky to have Aunt Beth visiting us this weekend and cooking yummy meals for us.
The girls loved being Mini Chefs and helping.

First, they made home made spaghetti sauce- some for dinner, some for stuffed shells (to be frozen) and 4 jars to freeze for future meals.
Next it was time to make Spicy Pretzels.
Lillian was quite the helper... dumping the pretzels into the pan
Laying them flat
Supervising Mommy as she prepared the spicy sauce
Then helping Mommy pour
Of course, every Chef must taste their creation, just to make sure it is good.

After nap, it was time to tackle the bagel chips.
Lillian liked "painting" the chips with the garlic butter before having Madi put them in the oven to bake.
Happy Chef
And while the bagel chips baked, the girls helped Aunt Beth crush oreos for Oreo Truffles
Everything was delicious (and this was only half of the menu :)
