Teach a Child to Cook and You Open A Whole New World

As part of a neighbor's 8 year old birthday gift I was asked to teach her how to make my famous (at least in her mind) enchiladas.  Yesterday we met up to begin our cooking adventure and I'm still smiling.

Olivia is a daughter I don't have so I love when the opportunity arrives to give some loving girl style - often for me it is through food.  I really, and I mean really enjoy cooking - the only time I don't is when I feel like I HAVE to do it versus I'm choosing to do it.

Anyway back to teaching kids to cook.  We arranged a meet up time to review the recipe, make our list of ingredients and head off to the store.  She knew she wanted to learn how to make enchiladas but filling them with things she loves. The yummy enchilada recipe is at the bottom of the post.
