Cooking Class #1 (Scrambled Eggs and Toast)

I wanted to do something that all of us could enjoy doing together, so I discussed to organize family cooking classes. Something very simple, in order to show the kids the basics of cooking. I am typically the family chef which I quite enjoy being. I like to have fun in the kitchen and love to eat. Both Grady and I love food and could spend so much time feasting. Tim likes to eat but I don't think he is as passionate about it as the two of us and Cyrus loves to eat breakfast but after that he is pretty much done for the day when it comes to having a big appetite. 

Anyway, rather than go out and spend money on taking a class, I decided that I would just teach the class myself. I figured that we could not only save money but have a great time together in the comfort of our own home. Everyone was down for the adventure, so we gave it a go. Our 1st meal we made was scrambled eggs and toast which everyone should know how to make. It is a great standby and can be enjoyed at anytime of the day.

Here are a couple of photos of the finished meal, all of which I can say was delicious and enjoyed by each of us. We even made an old-fashioned menu card so that the kids could start their very own cookbook.We will continue to do these classes each Thursday for the course of the school year and by the end of it, we will get to spend quality time together all the while enjoying a good meal.
