Do your children like to invent snacks, desserts, and meals?

My son, Benjamin, loves to create meals, smoothies, snacks, and desserts. Quite frequently my kitchen looks like a bomb hit it, but I am happy to clean up a mess if it means I get to share in one of his delicious creations and it saves me from having to cook.

From omelets to special-ingredient pancakes, shakes to gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, sauteed chicken and spices to stuffed burgers, Benj has got the chef gene. One evening recently, he made this as a dessert after dinner...and, as messy as it looked, it was delicious!

On an evening where the cabinets and fridge were pretty bare, he came up with this: Ritz crackers covered in Hazelnut spread and topped with fresh strawberries. Fantastic!

Okay so my healthy friends will tell me all the reasons why this is unhealthy, but I like to encourage his creativity and it's not like we're eating this every night.
