My 8 year old is notorious for not trying new foods, every.  For a month he once lived on whole wheat pancakes, which I snuck Soy Protein powder into.  When he was 3 he loved to watch me cook so I would give him a pile of flour and a cup of water on the table to play with and make goo.  Now that he is older he wants to actually cook for the family, so I decided why not add his love for hands on learning (and mashing things) with something easy to make – Guacamole.

We used:

2 small avocados

1/2 lime

1 clove of garlic

2 plum tomatoes

1/2 jalapeno pepper

pinch of salt and pepper

1/2 small onion

and Longboard Chips from TJ’s

I did all of the chopping as seen in our cooking video – which was the highlight of the whole process for him.  He wants to be on TV more than anything and would love to have a cooking show.  Since I have been vlogging – thanks to NewBaby.com’s Flip Camera program, with his younger brother, he wanted in on the action.  Check out the NewBaby.com Widget on the right sidebar.
