   At the beginning of the summer when we were talking about all the activities we would do my little man said that he wanted to make a cooking show and that I should put it on TV. He came up with the idea that in each episode he would dress up as a character and make a snack having to do with that character. Since he has a closet full of costumes of characters ranging from Angry Birds to Darth Vader. He decides which recipe he wants to make with very little help from me. He is passionate about this and it makes me happy to support him in his creativity. Since the last week of summer vacation is coming up, I finally uploaded the first installment of Cooking With Characters onto YouTube. Hope you enjoy!

Once the tortillas have cooled place them in a small bowl. Fill the tortilla bowls with frozen yogu
