Charlie the Baker - May 15

With Charlie being out of school, I decided to have him do some work in the kitchen to keep up his math skills!  Lots of fractions in recipes!  On Monday, he made pizza and lemon pie.  Today, he made chocolate chip cookies all by himself.

I didn't realize measuring margarine could be so messy!  I found clumps of it on the cupboards, floor, margarine container, recipe book, his shirt...

The finished product!  I remembered to take a picture, but only after we sampled his fine baking skills!
