My son's name is Isaiah and he is full of life, he really enjoys interacting with people and is constantly talking. One issue we were having together was time, there was a point were I was rushing home, cooking dinner and putting him straight to bed after our nightly routines. It came to a point where I was stressed and in turn stressed my son out. I also would like to point out that I am also a single mother who is in the field of early childhood education. I could see with the lifestyle I was living with my child it was contributing to behavioral issues on my part as well as his. In all reality all he wanted at the end of the day was to spend time with his mother. This leads me back to cooking. Isaiah had asked me if he could help me cook. It never occur to me to ask him to help me make dinner. He helped me that night make pasta.We had so much fun, full of conversation about the meal we were cooking. Their were many educational topics happening throughout the process of cooking. With this experience I let him help me cook many of the meals we eat. In this blog I will put in the recipes we have cooked together. I will also try to add tips and ideas that have helped me when it comes to being a mother on the go.

My passion and love is food and the culture and history behind food. Since giving birth to vibrant and vivacious child as well as living in the city commuting from work to daycare to home, I have had to find a way to still enjoy the foods I love to cook as well as spend time with my son at the end of our busy day.
