TwiceGirlie "A" Cooking with Mommy

My twins love baking and cooking with Mommy, so when Twice Girlie "A" wanted to stay home with Mommy, she helped me bake some chicken legs. It was a lot of fun for her and me. I measured out the ingredients and had her put the spices in a plastic bag. Once all the spices were in the bag, I had her shake the bag until all the spices were mixed together.

Before the chicken was placed into the bag, I cleaned the chicken real good, I mean real good, it is no fun getting sick from unwashed poultry, am I right?

Here are some photos of my Twice Girlie helping Mommy make the chicken:
