Sugar free dessert became the only way for me to bake for my husband, what to do for a man that loves sweet? It was easy for me, I started re-creating all of my baking recipes for him as sugar free dessert since we found out he is diabetic and that was many, many years ago…

Baking cookies

After All the Banana chips cookies Banana chips cookies I made the other day were gone; (thats how delicious they were) I had to bake another batch, but this time I doubled the recipe to accommodate the demands for these delicious cookies…

Today I had a helper in the kitchen to help me bake, she is as cute as she can be, my two years old gorgeous granddaughter Bella and my one year old handsome grandson baby Isaiah!

So here is how Bella’s day went baking the cookies…

I am concentrating here!

How many cups you said!

You said to mix them by hand now? Ok I do it! I do it!!

I think they are mixed!!

I know how to scoop them out, I could do it! By the way did you notice my apron?? How cute Am I!!

Ok one more scoop…

I am working hard here for my cookies

Scraping the bowl to get the last bit of these delicious cookies…

Not me…..I am chilling watching my movie…. I don’t do kitchen!!

Checking if I got everything out of that bowl…yes I think I did…

Time to put the banana chips on top, see I am good at following recipes hehehe

I think I got them all, hummm did I? I think I have…

Time to bake the cookies…

My work here is done for now….

The apron is coming off!

I worked soooo hard today I needed a drink to relax until the cookies are done!!

Did you notice how good I am!!! I am just ignoring the photographer!! No smile here…

No matter how hard she try I am not smiling! Just ignore her…….Anywaaaay orange juice is sooooo good for you after a hard day working in the kitchen…

Yummmm juice is that good!! Ok ok I cracked a little smile for her but still ignored her at the same time… she is pushing it isn’t she?!

Yep setting here and looking as handsome as I can be watching my movie…

Which one!!!

Oh this one looks good to me, yummm!

Are you kidding I have to do the dishes? Why me!!

Here I go again doing all the work around this kitchen…

Actually I am just playing with the water hahahah I tricked that photographer…

Ask Isaiah to wash the dishes!! He didn’t do anything! Just watching his movie…look at him! He is a bum…

Sorry big sister you are on your own, just let me know when the cookies are done!! Look at me!!! See how handsome I am…

Thank you for reading my story for today, talk to you soon, love Bella…

I wanted to share this story with everyone to just show how much fun and exciting it is to have kids in the kitchen no matter how old they are… to let them help you and share the experience with them is the most rewarding feeling you could ever have..

I enjoyed the same experience with my older granddaughter Nashwa when she was Bella’s age, she just celebrated her eleventh birthday few days ago and one of the smartest young ladies you will ever meet, and becoming more gorgeous every single day I might add…she learned at a young age to love and appreciate homemade cooking and baking…

Today I realized that I have saved a lot of banana chips from the so called tropical mix nuts and tropical fruit bags that we buy from the health store, every time I buy a bag I realize more and more that they are just full of banana chips and hardly any mixed nuts or any tropical fruits…
