Few things are as fun - or aggravating - as having your child help out in the kitchen.
My little chef has tagged along with me for as long as she could walk. Whether it's time in the kitchen or an exploration of the local farmers market, my little foodie has always been at ease with new tastes, shapes and colors.
This weekend, we went to the farmers market to round out what we'd received from the CSA, and she wanted to help cook as soon as we got home. It was literally an "add this" and "this one, too, Mommy" way of cooking. I had no idea how it would turn out, and I have to say, I was impressed! (Keep in mind there are no real amounts to share, so this would be best done by eyeballing or taste).
The name, of course, comes from the amount of onions and garlic scape involved. It was enjoyed by us all, and even the baby enjoyed an abbreviated version of mushed summer squash and rotini.
Stinky Spaghetti
