At 14, Ryan's talent in the kitchen continues to get better.  For our family's virtual food "Show and Tell" during the pandemic, he made the beautiful cinnamon bread in the picture below.  It didn't last long in his house!

       

      Ryan is a creative cook and is 
        comfortable in the kitchen.
    Here he and his sister make  a
            simple fruit dessert.                                 
    
       Look at some of his earlier
           kitchen adventures.

Though menus and recipes under my menu tab have followed a specific format, Ryan created a more free style plan.   My husband and I  wanted to do some cooking with our grandchildren.  So our grandson Ryan did the choosing and he went shopping with us.  He and his sister Willow took the lead, but adults were there as sous chefs.  The meal was great and enjoyed by all.   Below I've included a video of how Ryan made his decision.
