The Ormeo Family & Photography

or the Cake Boss…except he doesn’t like Buddy Valastro very much, Ethan thinks he is mean. Besides I think he prefers cooking main dishes to desserts.

The last couple of months Ethan has really taken a liking to cooking. Nothing specific, just anything we’d allow him to cook without us. I love this age where he’s old enough to move around the kitchen with minimal supervision. He HATES when I pull the ‘helicopter-mom‘ on him  so I really do try to stay out of his hair.

We have quite a few boxed mixes in our pantry so we asked him if he’d like to bake us a goodie. Of course he jumped on that opportunity!

He’s baking brownies and pumpkin bread as I type. (I have to keep busy so I’ll stay out of his way, although he doesn’t seem to mind having his dad in the kitchen! hmmm) He said next time he’ll mix a bit of the brownie batter with the pumpkin to make a chocolaty (is that how you spell it? because that looks funny) pumpkin loaf. mmmmm!

Thanks Kuya for baking us treats!
