He did a fabulous job and he makes me very proud to be his mom." Here are the Waffles made by TJ:

5. IndoSunGod: Chapatis

IndoSunGod's daughter SK helped Mom make Chapatis! In ISG's own words..."She loves to cook the Chappathis as I am rolling them. She draws a stool close to the stove and helps me cook chappathis all the time yakking away, you know how eight years olds are. Everything has to be analyzed to the last detail. My fond hope is to teach her as much of Indian cooking as possible so she can enjoy cooking good food."
With a Wonderful mom like that, who wouldn't want to cook and learn from her??

6. Ashwini of Food For Thought: Date Cake
Ashwini writes of her little neice A:
"I made the date cake with my cousin and little niece A. She is a smart, mischievous, 5 going on 10 year old!! Whenever she comes over to our home she doesn't have anyone to play with, but still occupies herself with her puzzles and books. So when we baked the cake that day I was glad she could be involved in it. And she really enjoyed herself too."

What a *sweet* niece and of course, the aunt too!
