Ashton Kerr, Chef Extraordinaire!




Ashton helped me cook dinner tonight :) It was SO sweet! He was such a great little chef. We made roasted chicken and vegetables. I pulled his step stool into the kitchen, from the bathroom, and he climbed right up and quietly watched me chop carrots, potatoes asparagus and celery. Daddy had already cut up our chicken when he came home for lunch, so I had the chicken pieces placed in the dish. After I cut everything up, Ashton helped me spread all the veggies around the chicken, and was SO into his job. He would take a piece of carrot and look all around the dish before deciding exactly where he wanted to put it. After we were done with that, I gave him a herb seasoning and let him shake it over everything. Then we went out to the garden and picked some thyme and rosemary. I brought him back in (after being temporarily distracted by his slide; hey, chefs need breaks too!) and let him set the garden herbs on top of everything. It was such a fun experience and I can't wait to do it again and again!!!! Oh, and on a side note, dinner turned out delicious!! As Ashton would say... Go, Ashton, Go!!
