This weekend we made some delicious borsht! I’m half Ukrainian so I enjoy a good bowl of borscht  I’m also half Spanish so I also enjoy a hot handmade tortilla too! But this weekend was all about the borscht! This takes a lot of veggies which means lots of washing, peeling and cutting…the perfect job for my daughter Hannah.

We love making stews and soups at this time of year as it really helps to keep you feeling warm and cozy! Being able to use a bunch of colorful veggies makes it all the more better!

After a fun trip to the farmers market Hannah and I made roasted rainbow carrots for dinner!  We’re so used to seeing orange carrots that it’s such a treat for our eyes to see bright yellow and deep purple carrots!  Purple just happens to be my daughters favorite color so whenever we come across purple produce she is more than excited to try it.

We like to cook together as a family as often as possible as there are so many opportunities for little ones to learn and help out in the kitchen!

Look at that purple!!!!

Sunny yellow carrots!

I pretty much just watched Hannah prepare this…she took charge and had a blast…I was so proud to be HER assistant this time!

Ta da!!!  Our delicious roasted rainbow carrots!

I would like to encourage you to get your kids involved in the kitchen, yes it can sometimes mean that things take twice as long and can be twice as messy when they first start helping out, but if you keep at it you might be pleasantly surprised and find yourself being the helper just like I did this weekend!
