Ponzu Grilled Salmon with Golden Beet Couscous was even better than I could have imagined.
Now, I’m no Meeta but I did take a photo before Papaya ate my portion and her own portion of the Salmon.
Ignore the dirty counter - I’d just finished cooking with my toddler assistant. How does that go, you wonder. It starts with a butter knife and some play dough and as Mommy peels and slices the beets the little one gets to work on her bright orange victim. It’s adorable and let’s Mommy get through cooking with minimal tantrums.
I keep meaning to involve her more in the kitchen - I’ve heard allowing them to pour into pots what you’ve measured, help to stir cooling dishes and of course “chop” what you’ve already chopped with her little butter knife are all very good for their future love of cooking. Plans, I’ve got good ones, I just need to put them into practice.

um, YUM!!! Great pic and sounds scrumptious.
And yeah, I need to get D involved in the kitchen more, too. I get impatient and/or distracted way too easily . . .
I really want you to cook for me! I never let X in the kitchen when I cook. That child is a terror! Maybe when he’s a little older.
