We were at Grandma & Geezer’s house for dinner a few weeks ago, the boys were put to work. The menu included cheeseburgers, corn and cream peas. Everything but the corn was ready to be cooked.
The boys helped with the corn by shucking it. First, Geezer demonstrated and then the boys took turns.
My kids look mean, don’t they?! But shucking corn is HARD work and they were focused!
I have to say, though, I think the boys enjoyed the corn even more than usual because they helped prepare it!
Have your kids helped you shuck corn?
Did you have fun in the “kitchen” this week? Did you try a new food or a new kid friendly restaurant? Did your little ones use their snacks to count to 10? We invite you to share your experiences, photos, stories or recipes that include your #kidsinthekitchen!
Come join me and my co-hosts, Melinda at Look What Mom Found, Paula at Frosted Fingers and Sarah of Play2LearnWithSarah, each week by linking up a post, new or old, that features the theme Kids in the Kitchen.

Great idea…make them work for their meal! I’ll have to get some at the Farmers Market on Tues!
The boys are so big! Glad they are great helpers in the kitchen!
