Would you like 1 bean or 2?

Today, I am making taco soup for dinner. Abbie, age 2, came into the kitchen wanting to help. So, I set the bean pot on the table with my gallon jar filled with dried kidney beans. Abbie climbed up on the chair and started putting the beans into the bean pot......1 bean at a time! LOL

This was so cute! Her face had a very intent expression as she took her task very seriously. She loved putting them in for me. Never mind that a job that would have taken seconds for me to pour the beans into the bean pot turned into a 20 minute task. Abbie was having fun while also learning to help out.

Here is our recipe for the Taco Soup:

Cook up enough kidney or pinto beans for your family. When fully cooked, add a pint of tomatoes, a pint of whole kernel corn, taco seasoning to taste, some onions, and green chilies to taste. You can also add some browned ground meat.

I serve this with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced olives. It is a very basic soup that I often will home can the extras from.

LOL How cute. My two year old loves to help me make homemake pizza, and he loves to spoon the pizza sauce on the dough with his little teaspoon. LOL It does take forever, but I love cooking and spending time like this with him, and he enjoys it so much too.

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo
