Baking lessons with Bubba

Okay so my son's name is not Bubba, it's Gabriel but Bubba is his nickname being the older brother and all. Today he wanted to make brownies so he and I did some mother/son bonding over baking brownies. He is an awesome helper I might add.

First I cracked the eggs (I would much rather me get salmonella than him) and added them to the brownie mix, then I measured the oil, I feared him + a Sams club size of canola oil = disaster waiting to happen, once measured in he poured the oil

Followed with the water
My what a good pourer he is, the better to make the brownies my dear!

Next it's time to put those muscles to use and stir, stir, stir:
Brownie batter all stirred up and ready to pour

The spoons that were made for lickin'

What better way to bond than licking raw brownie batter off the spoon (wasn't I just saying I wouldn't let him crack eggs for fear of salmonella, and yet I will let him eat the raw egg! Even I don't understand my reasoning!)

Yep anything that includes chocolate and spending time with my kids is a dream come true.
