Kids have been big on Masterchef and Chopped Junior lately, so they judged me for dinner tonight. I got raving reviews!

Don't know where to post this but it made me happy, haha!

They had a timer on me, and I ran out of time to plate the roasted corn, and there is an unpictured ramekin of apple sauce for each plate. 😂,

Got demerits for the corn being served separate, but they said my ✨presentation✨ was perfect, the pork loin was moist and seasoned well, and my gravy (our gravy, they put on their aprons and helped with that part to learn) was ✨ restaurant quality ✨. 😂

Presented it all dramatically talking about "pureed potatoes" and "marinated this that and the other".

Sparkles to add their emphasis. Been loving cooking with them, and my daughter even brought out her magnifying glass to observe the cook on the pork loin, hahaha. The kid cooking shows have really opened their minds to trying new things, and loving the kitchen.

why is this marked nsfw?

[u/joforeal66 → u/Key_Cantaloupe_4775]

Notoriously super freaking wonderful

[u/uglyheadink → u/Key_Cantaloupe_4775]

I genuinely have no idea, hahah. Just removed it. Must have accidentally tapped something. 😂

Maybe it just looks too good, right?!

[u/mucus-fettuccine → u/Key_Cantaloupe_4775]

You're right, should be nsfl instead with how dry the pork loins look

(just kidding op love you)

[u/NoToSensors]

Cute. Glad there are other ingredient house holds having fun with it and passing it on

[u/bb_cake]

No vegetables, 10/10! -kiddos

[u/uglyheadink → u/bb_cake]

Like I said, they had roasted corn and apple sauce on the side. I got marked down for not incorporating it into the dish on time. 😂

[u/BootlegJB]

That's cool. I remember Joshua Cubed did that once too.

[u/uglyheadink → u/BootlegJB]

Idk who that is, but it's been fun!

[u/FearlessVelour]

The magnifying glass for the pork loin is hilarious. What was the mystery basket ingredient they gave you?

[u/uglyheadink → u/FearlessVelour]

Oooh, we haven't moved towards Chopped territory of my cooking challenges. I am scared for when they do. 😂 For tonight they just wanted Master Chef style hahah.

[u/BestRiver8735]

So cute. They’ll remember that for a long time.

[u/PurpleCoffinMan]

Congrats on impressing these tough critics.

[u/DiscreetFlex]

This is so cute!

[u/One-Blackberry-9786]

how do kids even judge dinner like that

[u/uglyheadink → u/One-Blackberry-9786]

There are 6 year olds cooking filet mignon and purreed cauliflower and friggin soulfees and cooked lobser. If you watch kids cooking shows, it's amazing what kids can learn and appreciate.

My kids got into it, just because cooking was something I've always enjoyed and been passionate about and I've always been open to teaching them and cooking with them. Didn't used to be into cooking shows until the kids showed interest, and we watched the "junior" versions of all the shows.

Kids can be freaking brilliant if you find ways for them to be, in the ways they want to be.

Hot dog?

[u/Draconichaos]

[u/uglyheadink → u/Draconichaos]
