I wrote this post for my Dream Dinners Blog but thought it would be good to have it here as well, Enjoy!
If you are looking for quick dinner ideas I do not recommended little helpers, however they do add a little spice to dinner time preparations. My daughter Reagan is 1 1/2 and she loves to do anything and everything Mommy does. She loves to sit on the counter in the bathroom and put on make up. She loves typing on her own keyboard at the computer. And she especially loves helping out in the kitchen. Last week she even got her very own apron and so I decided she really needed to be put to work. She helped whisk up her first salad dressing the other night. I have to say if she wasn't so cute I would never have her help again because she made such a big mess. Luckily we were having a Chicken with Honey Garlic and Orange a grilled Dream Dinner so other than the salad and our plates there were no other dishes to wash. Also the fun we had together in the kitchen was worth any extra time it took to clean up.
