We received a copy of The Unofficial Hogwarts Cookbook for Kids for free to review and enjoy. Opinions are our own.Getting my son excited about dinner can be a challenge. The thing that has helped the most is involving him in the meal preparation. When Andy can help out he’s more than happy to eat the meal. He loves learning to prep meals and his skills are getting better.

The Unofficial Hogwarts Cookbook for Kids had a ton of great recipes. Andy read through the whole thing and picked out two recipes to make for dinner tonight. He picked a meal and also a dessert. He chose Bubble and Squeak for dinner and The Knickerbocker Glory for dessert.

Andy cutting carrots

Andy was working well with the knife and cutting up the carrots for the Bubble and Squeak. This was a a good recipe for including veggies which is another thing that kids should be eating.

Andy is also good at measuring out ingredients.

Andy cooking

Andy is skilled at making omelets. They are his favorite thing. He can make them on his own with adult supervision.

Finished Meal

The finished Bubble and Squeak looked amazing. The meal looked great in the book and I think it piqued Andy’s interest immediately. Because of all the ingredients the dish was so colorful. It made for something very special on the table.

dessert

Our dessert turned out amazing. I was so excited about this one because of the strawberries. I love desserts with Strawberries.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
