My oldest daughter, Mercades, has been showing a lot of interest in cooking lately. She’s at that age where she really wants to help out and make something. I love that she’s showing such an interest. I remember being around her age, and I was the same way. I have always loved to cook ever since I was little as well. I think it’s a great experience to cook with your kids in the kitchen too. They can learn a lot from cooking.
If you can remember back when I did a post about the book “Dex”, it has helped to inspire her to be able to cook food up in the kitchen. I talked to her and asked her what she’d like to make. She wanted to make some kind of breakfast sandwich, so we went with that. I let her cook up everything she wanted to make for the sandwich. Of course I was there to help supervise her as well.
My whole family loves breakfast, and often we eat breakfast for dinner. There are many great breakfast items that are so good that you just have to have them for dinner. My daughter decided to cook up a lot of different breakfast foods. She wanted to use hashbrowns, eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese and toast to make her breakfast sandwich.
We used a griddle to make this sandwich. This is a very simple recipe that she came up with, and the ingredients are easy to cook with. All she did was take all those ingredients (hashbrowns, bacon, eggs, sausage) and cooked them on the griddle. She then made sure to put the toast in the toaster. Once all her items were cooked, she put them on the toast and made her sandwich! She added a slice of cheese to that as well.
I thought it was very creative, and it actually tasted really good! I’d have her make these again anytime! I love all breakfast items, so I’m glad she was able to make something and have it turn out great!
How many of you have kids who love to cook? I think it’s great to get them in the kitchen and have them cook. It’s a great way to bond with your children as well. I’m glad that my daughter loves to cook, so now we get to cook together. That’s something I always enjoyed doing with my mother when I was little. I know that she really enjoys cooking along with me too!
If you have any kids at home who love to cook, then I hope that you’ll check out the Dex book for them as well. I’d love to hear some of the creations that your children have made or something they would love to make!

Breakfast is a simple meal to make. That’s why I started her off with this too. 🙂

I really want to get this cookbook! I am trying to teach my kiddo how to cook, but this book would really help a lot! Looks like you daughter and you had a great time!
It’s actually not a cookbook, it’s an actually book to read. 🙂 It’s about a boy who has a passion for cooking…and yes my daughter has a lot of fun cooking!
Aw she looks so sweet learning how to cook. My one year old LOVES watching me in the kitchen.

Look at your daughter go! I love hash browns and have always wanted a griddle. Having one really changes your breakfast game!

That’s a great way of bonding with kids. they’re very inquisitive and curious about the kitchen. Cooking with them teaches them how to safely prepare a meal and be independent when the time comes.
Definitely! It’s a lot of fun too.
My kids love to help me in the kitchen. This breakfast sandwich looks amazing!
It was amazing! Glad to hear your kids love to help out too.
The book Dex sounds like a great book for my little niece who loves to help cook. I will have to gift this to her for Christmas and have her make us breakfast. This breakfast sandwich looks delicious. thanks for sharing the sandwich and book.
I bet she’d love that too!

It was so good too. Worth those extra calories! haha
Oh my, this hashbrown breakfast sandwich looks delicious. And such an easy recipe for kids to make. Our boys don’t cook – they’ve been spoiled because my husband is an amazing cook. Plus he doesn’t let anyone in the kitchen when he’s cooking.
Haha! It’s great to have kids help though. My girls just love it.
That is some breakfast sandwich. How sweet cooking with your daughter!
It’s always fun being able to cook with your kids.
My kids love helping out in the kitchen and I think it is a great way to spend quality time bonding and teach them life skills!
I completely agree with you!
I love getting my kids involved in helping in the kitchen, even my boys. It is a great skill to have and I want them to be able to cook their own meals one day.
Definitely! It’s great to see kids cooking too.
I would totally eat a breakfast sandwich like that! It looks so good! I love getting my kids into the kitchen! It is such an important skill for them to have!
It sure is! The sandwich was actually very good too!

It is a lot of fun. I love cooking with my girls.
That looks like my kind of breakfast sandwich. The grand kids love helping me in the kitchen and I recently bought a new griddle so they could help me cook some foods.
Awesome! Having a griddle has been so nice for us. I picked one up on Black Friday.
Your daughter is so cute! It’s so important to get kids cooking at a young age in my opinion. This sandwich looks SO delicious too!
Thank you! It actually turned out to be really good.
We love making breakfast sandwiches. Those hashbrowns look good!
This was one amazing sandwich too!
Looks delicious and the best part is there are so many different ways to do it.
Right! It was really good.
That one awesome breakfast sandwich it could probably be my lunch! Haha! I haven’t actually tried adding onions on mine at home and I will now! 😀
It was amazing! There were actually no onions on this. You’re probably referring to the hashbrowns. 🙂
