Chicken Stew/Veggie Stew

 New mother's would agree that getting food in a toddler's tummy is a mammoth task.  The house 🏡 would turn into a battlefield with a war of wits. 

I too went through the rigrous exercise and my toddler would clam up her mouth. When the new grandma took over, the plate would be clean .The magic I learnt was Snow White, Rupanzel,Beauty and the beast. When those characters finished grandma would start recreating and stretching her imagination till the food on the plate was nicely in the toddler's tummy. I was naturally impressed with the show of such patience.

Now years later the toddler is a mother of two and I a grandma and I seem to be endowed with patience. My grandson and I often cook together and he loves being involved in the kitchen.moreover It's good for boys to be taking up kitchen and housework seriously.

We sing while we cook,concocting rhymes with our ingredients.
