MasterChef Junior Season Three premiered on Tuesday this week. I was out of town so I didn’t get a chance to watch it with my six year old daughter who has shown an interest in cooking. Luckily, I was able to catch the first episode online at fox.com and she was totally into it! Since I hadn’t seen previous seasons I didn’t really know what to expect but I had a good feeling McKinley would love it. One of her favorite shows is Cake Boss and while MasterChef covers a much broader area of cooking, she was just as interested!
A team of 1-13 year olds compete in cooking challenges to showcase and test their culinary abilities. They are coached and encouraged by food experts and judges including: award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay, restaurateur Joe Bastianich, and chef Graham Elliot. They are also judged and eliminated until only one remains and earns the title of MasterChef Junior and $100,000!
These are the contestants from around the country. Not only are these kids amazing chefs (unbelievably amazing in my opinion!) but their passion for cooking and strong support for one another blew me away. I might have just been over tired but I actually teared up a few times! These kids encouraged each other and cheered each other on like they were all best friends. It is so adorable to watch!
And this cutie, Riley, is the youngest chef yet quite possibly one of the most sophisticated! He speaks several languages and his cooking skills are crazy good! We’ve set the DVR to record the entire season so we won’t miss an episode. I’m looking forward to watching the show with my kids and sparking their interest in cooking! I’m also getting inspired to give my kids more opportunities to help in the kitchen or do a little creating of their own!

I believe that kids do their best when they make something they like so mac & cheese or hamburgers. Especially hamburgers; love to see what they put in them and on them too.
My son likes to make the Easy Chocolate chip cake cookies all you need is a white cake mix, 5tbs of melted real butter, 2 eggs, 2 cups chocolate chips. Mix it all together and put in a glass oven pan flatten in put and bake for 20 minutes. Easy for kids!! And yummy! My son likes putting cream cheese icing on it once it cools.
Flatten it out and put in the oven at 350 degrees.

One of the first things my kids learned to make when they were young, was eggs, fried, boiled, scrambled and omelet, I figured since they were all boys making breakfast would be great for them to make their loved ones when they get older, besides they would not starve to death..lol
LOL, smart thinking! 🙂
Mac and cheese bites are always a hit.

The kids are great at making pizza at home with a little help!

My kids enjoyed crockpot meals. The beef roast, chili or chicken cacciatoree are limited prep meals that kids enjoy eating. Never fails to impress them how good the meals come out and how they are ready to eat after getting home after a long day.
I don’t have ny little ones at home anymore, but my niece stays with me a lot. She can make a chocolate cream pie pretty much on her own.
