Chef Atticus

With all the cooking, and talking about food we do in this house, it is no wonder one of Atticus' favorite things to do is help us cook. He loves dragging the Ju Ju Bean into the kitchen (yes, the same on that put him in a head lock) and getting hands on with whatever I am fixing. We make smoothies together a few times a week, and he's given me a hand in making banana muffins a few times too.

Demian recently bought him his own cookbook. It didn't take him long to figure out the recipe he wanted to start with. Ernie's Banana Split Breakfast. Sounds super unhealthy, right. Well, lucky for us it's not. And, it was super easy to make.

Not sure why he's got a backpack on. Always prepared, I guess.

"Enough with the photo shoot- I want to eat"

So if you want to make this healthy breakfast at home, here is how.
1) Use a ice cream scoop to scoop out two mounds of cantaloupe.
2) Cut a banana lengthwise
3) Cut up some kiwi
4) Dump some yogurt over the fruit
5) Add blueberries and granola (we used Raisin Bran)

Good stuff. It's not like it's Top Chef or anything, but he was so excited about picking out the recipe, and getting all the stuff to make it. He seemed really proud of the outcome. I hope that his love of food and cooking continues.
