Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes

Nick likes mom to make chicken dinner on Sunday.  But today mom decided we would do something different, mom told Nick, "tonight we will eat meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner, and Nick will help with the cooking."

Mom took out the recipe and Nick mixed up the meatloaf ingredients.  Then we put it in the oven.

Next mom showed Nick how to peel potatoes.  Nick was very good at this. 

Mom said, "I don't like peeling potatoes, you will be my helper from now on."

After the potatoes were cooked we put them in the mixing bowl with butter and milk. 

When mom took this picture Nick was too fast with the butter!

Then we sat down to eat, and Nick ate his whole dinner and asked for more. 

Mom said, "thanks for helping in the kitchen, it was fun to cook something new together."
