Meet Perla Farias, the Xicana Mom of 4 Striking a Balance Between Spirulina Smoothies and Chicken... - 1 minute read
Have you thought about whether you want to teach your own kids how to cook?
I think about this a lot. The times I’ve invited them into the kitchen, I have felt very overwhelmed. Once I had them help me make tortillas from scratch. They were intrigued because the dough looks like Play-Doh. They loved pressing it and I didn’t mind the extra time it took because I was fascinated with them wanting to do it. But there have been other times where I’ve invited them to, like, bake hojarascas, or traditional Mexican sugar cookies, with me, and the twins just wanted to throw flour everywhere. With two of them, they’re like each other’s hype woman. It was a lot. That was one of the last times I did something with them in the kitchen because it was not a fun experience. And if it’s not fun for them, they’re not going to want to be there. I need to get myself comfortable in the kitchen first, then I’ll be able to invite them in.
