This morning my son woke up and asked me what I was doing.
"Baking bread" I replied.  
He scrunched up his nose & asked "what kinda bread".
Knowing the instant I said the word zucchini there would be no going back. " Bread made out of alien pods"I told him.  
"You don't have any aliens Mom! They are in outer space!"  
"No, I have a few in the fridge.  They were on sale at the store" I told him.  
"Cool" he said "can I help".  
"Of Course" I said. " First we have to shred the alien flesh & squeeze out all the alien juice".
My little blood thirsty boy thought this was the greatest news he had ever heard.
Well my little guy helped me all the way up to the alien funeral pyre (putting the bread in the oven).
When the bread came out of the oven he ate two slices of warm bread.
He told me it was pretty good even if it wasn't made out of real aliens.

If you added chocolate chips, it could have been alien poo.

Yes, but I don't have to make chocolate cool.  It's cool all on it's own :-)

Oh thats a wonderful post... I just adore cooking with children, I have tried to encourage cooking , along with family group reading, and board games., to see families at holiday time playing charades warms you heart ..everyone loves acting. Even really little kids love a bit of pastry , they pound it around you may end up eating a bit of grey hard stuff and saying YUMMY but hey its worth it,

Being a mom is hard work, but it's mornings like this that make it worthwhile.
