I was very excited when Kyle told me he wanted to do another segment of Cooking with Kyle. This summer he has been rather sporadic on when he was willing to cook. I decided not to force him, because I wanted him to enjoy cooking. I gave him the sales ads and a notebook, and told him to go through them to figure out his recipe. He brought them back to me a few minutes later, and said he decided on pork tacos and cheese fries. I told him I was not sure how the two recipes would go to together, but we would figure something out. I was also very excited about how much he wrote on his list. As you know he has Aspergers. What you may not know, he HATES to write. It is like pulling teeth to get him to do his homework, so writing a list because he wanted to is pretty cool!
Since it was getting late ( I will explain why in my next post), he decided on just making the pork taco/burritos tonight. The ingredients his chose are Curly's seasoned pork without sauce, a can of Taco Bell refried beans, Kraft taco cheese, Chi Chis tortillas,Taco Bell hard taco shells, lettuce and tomatoes. He also added in a few hot papers from our garden.
He mixed the refried beans and the shredded pork together in a small bowl.
He added the meat mixture, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes to the tortillas and rolled them up.
A few of his masterpieces.
Again he made a very tasty recipe. He gives a big thumbs up as he chows down!
It's great that you are teaching your son skills like this. My cousin had an interest in cooking, and she is now a pastry chef in her 20s.
ReplyDeleteso glad to have Kyle back - thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelli! He kind of took a break from cooking over the summer too. I didn't want to make him do it, or he wouldnt enjoy it. I was thrilled last week when he told me he wanted to cook dinner.
