My Child – Julia!

Those of you that know me very well, know that love for cooking is not something that I grew up with.
As a Brazilian woman, trying to break up with all Latin machismo stigmas, I stayed far away from kitchen stuff, as much as possible.
I always appreciated a good and well prepared meal, however never took the challenge on making it from scratch.
When my daughter Julia, was born, I hated the idea of feeding her with commercial canned products.
I could not stand the fact that my little one would be eating a product that had been sitting on the supermarket shelf for over a month.

So I decided to invest some time on making her, a few little treats.

I started slowly, first with the apple sauce, rice, black beans, then I started planning complete meals and when I realized I was already baking cakes!
Julia, basically, has been growing up inside the kitchen, from morning to sunset, she would be around me just watching,  while I was trying to get things done.
Slowly, I introduced, bread making, flour mixing and other fun things to her
On the past few months, she has been planning her own little suprise meals.

She said she loves cooking and her little brother is taking her steps too.
Good for me, soon I will be retiring from the kitchen, sitting on my porch and relaxing while supper is being made!
