 Are you guys foodies? Oh. Does the sun come up in the morning? I love food. She likes food more than she likes me. No, no, at times. You have those moments in your life as a mom when you've tried for so many years to get your children to eat. This book is my daughter and my son's favorite book. And yeah, what is it called? Dragons Love Tocos. Yes. I got a really cool idea for them to try something new. Hello. We need dragons. Tocos. We need dragons. They never, they never, see, look. That's because of me reading this book every night. How many times have you read this book? Like a hundred times, but I think if dragons love spin, you can do it. I've done it three times. That'd be great. We got home after school. There was no baseball that day. There were no dance lessons that day. And we're like, OK, it's five-something. We got a little time, let's just make some tacos. That's not a crazy meal. It's not something that's quick. And not a lot of stove work, you know? Safety is important. That's the number one thing. Well, safety and fun. Don't cook fried chicken your first time with your toddler. Just saying. My fried kid. Yeah, that would not be good. Look how pretty this is. Look how pretty this is. I think it's important for us to learn together with the kids on the things that they like, what they don't like. And I feel like they would like to try things a lot more when they're a part of the process. Absolutely. Then you want, oh my gosh. You want more cheese? OK, all right. We have to get organized first. OK, this is what we're going to do first, people. All right, here. Well, we're not having bell peppers in the tacos. I thought you got the special green bags. I did. That was something. They didn't work. I want to get a special one. Where is the big boy knife? The big boy knife is here. We got to start work on it. Can we just start cooking? I get a big knife. Wait, wait, we're not shredding the cheese with knives. No, baby, you've got to cut the onions. I did. OK, let me just tell you. Let me just tell you. We don't normally cook together. We never cook together. One is the sous chef. And lately, it's been more meat cooking. And so now she's trying to take the lead. It has. And she wants our son to shred cheese with knives better used for butchering a deer. OK, so. Who's going to be the sous chef and who is going to be the chef? I'm going to be the chef. You're? And I'm going to shred the chef. I was shredding. OK, you can be the chef, but I'm just letting you know. I'm going to shred it. OK, you are. Well, cut the onions last because they make everybody cry. So do everything else first, you see? Yeah. What are you? Araya, where's your stool so you can stand up and see that back? Do it. Look at it. Isn't that cool? Aiden likes to work with the food. Like, Aiden will touch anything and cut it and all that stuff. He just won't eat it all. Araya won't necessarily touch it, but she'll eat it. So it's kind of a backwards thing. Yeah. Rai-Rai, you want to help daddy make the salsa? Yeah. Just be careful for your hands, dude. You'll be fine. Yeah, I never get hurt. If he loses one, it'll teach him. OK, Rai-Rai. I already know what to say. Is Araya going to eat the cheese? Araya to Lee. You've already had two. Rai-Rai to Lee. You've had two sticks of cheese. What is that? Rai-Rai, ready? Put them in there. Good job. Boom, shaka laka. Daddy's making his famous salsa. Boom, shaka laka. And what do dragons love? Taka! Dragons not love. Salsa. Halle-i-no peppers. What was that? Halle-i-no peppers. Halle-i-no peppers. This kid could be confidently wrong. Like, you know what I mean? Whereas I would be like, is that a Halle-i-no? No. Aiden's like, that's a Halle-i-no. And you can even be like, no, Aiden. It's a Halle-i-no. We'd be like, you mean the Halle-i-no? Go for it. Halle-i-no. Halle-i-no, yeah. I don't like Halle-i-no. You don't like Halle-i-no, too? No. The good job, Mama Sita. I'm out of here. I can't wait to have a glass of wine. There. Cheers. Salud. So what you're going to do is you're just going to cut along the lines of the onion like so. Like this? Stay in line with the marker. Yes, stay in line with the marker. You are. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Daddy, what time is it now? Ready? You need to help me do salsa time right in a second. Right, right. That's enough cheese, sweetie. I know you like cheese, but that's enough, OK? Now, Mommy's just going to chop them up into tinier pieces. Daddy, this cheese is good. Cheese is good? Are you still eating cheese, Araya? We're not going to have you left. Put them in. OK, put them in right, right. Put them in. Boom. Now it's called salsa time. One. OK, let's see. OK, you want to try some, Araya? Want to try some, too, Aiden? Daddy's doing it. All right, all right, leave the cheese alone. That's enough cheese. Ready? No. You said you wanted to try some. Wow. I actually was getting ready to add the salt. You would add salt to yours. The only thing is just add a little bit more tomatoes. Well, she likes her salsa a little bit more chunky. Chunkier. That's it. But that's me. Yeah. Hold, please. No, good. You just need more onions? Onions, onions. I need more onion. And a little more garlic. Team up, team up. Wow. Like you said, my meat needed a little bit more garlic powder and a little bit more onions. Yeah, but you asked for that? I didn't ask for it to taste my little test. Well, damn. You asked. You asked me. How's my meat? I told you. Whenever you're cooking and you have a hot pan on the stove, make sure that the handle is not sticking out like this. Make sure it is inside or towards the back, because you don't want the child coming by and grabbing it and it falling on them. No room for a joke there. No joke. I'm just saying that that's kind of like that's serious. That's common knowledge. No. Sometimes common sense isn't common. All right, ready? We're saving lives out here, people. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Get down. OK, nice job, Aiden. Mommy, what are you reading? Taco sauce. Close. Taco sauce. Right, right. This is the hard word. Stop eating the cheese. Seasoning. Taco? Seasoning. Here, how about let's try it. He just said it. Taco seasoning. He just said it. I don't know. OK. Here, can you smell this? All right, kind of eats like her mom a little bit. How so? She sneaks things here and there. And so what things do I sneak? You sneak snacks? Like what? I had a really healthy day. I'm like, is that for those chips you had? I don't judge. They were gluten-free. I don't judge. You want me to try your cheese? Yeah. Did you touch your nose? Probably. Try it. You want me to try that particular cheese? Yeah, try it. I think there's a riot of nose germs on that. No, you're safe. No. No? I'm sick in the morning. What? Two days from now. Three days, right? It takes two days. Did you make the cheese? How did you make the cheese? There. Boom. Thank you. Good job. I don't know why I'm whispering. On all seriousness, nice job. My meat's good, huh? It meat's good. It doesn't sound right. It doesn't sound right. I love my wife. Nice job. And I'm a great cook. I love cooking with you, and you're on the kitchen. Every once in a while, you say, hey, I cooked. And I'm looking and going, oh, man, I got to clean. But you never, I'm always cleaning. What are you talking about? Yeah. Every once in a while, you have me clean. Yeah, every once in a while. When I cook, I clean, too. I don't ask you to clean my stuff. But I still have a lot to clean when I'm done. See, I thought this will cook. Who cooks the other person clean? Thank you. We've been married for almost eight years. That is the one thing, Adam, that starts an argument, if I'm honest. It's if you cook, I clean. If I cook, you clean. Not in the house in life. You want to know why? Because your mom, his mom still to this day will come over and do the dishes. So she's been doing the dishes. She's been doing the dishes. Yes, she has. When I was younger. You can ask Eric. You can ask Hannah. Eric is my brother-in-law. I literally had to say Judy. Judy is my mother-in-law. I literally had to say Judy, sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Hold on. He needs to do the dishes. Hold on. Fun, healthy tip. If you don't want sour cream on your taco, you could actually use yogurt. Let's be a little more clear about that. Greek yogurt. Plain Greek yogurt. Some will go out and they'll be like honey. OK. He just made tacos. OK, here we go. Cheese. Cheese with your tongue. OK, let's sit down. Yay. Tacoated? Let's live in the present, dude. Yes, I'll get the onion out. Because I don't like onions. That's why I didn't want to put onions. You said you want onions. Rara ate the onions. Remember, let's rewind. I don't know. Now, here's the. Do you guys need more onions? Onion. Onion. Onion. And a little more garlic. I see an onion. Close your eyes and eat the taco. Take a bite. Take a bite. We both value family. And I think that's the reason why he is my perfect life partner. Family is huge to us. And what we do as a family. One, two, three. Aiden loves. What? The no meat. You got no meat in the body. Oh my god. OK. There's no meat and he spilled taco all over the floor. At the end of the day, cooking with kids, sitting down with them at dinner, even if it's an extra 20, 30 minutes, I mean, those are 20, 30 minutes that when you are 50 years older or 40 years older, are going to wish you had back. I remember this day, my dad and grandpa being in the backyard barbecuing steaks and sitting at the table. And they say, listen, you're going to enjoy this. Enjoy this dinner. And looking back, I understand what they met because I still have those memories. And I'm hoping Aiden and Araya will have memories of us being in the kitchen and Araya sneaking the cheese. Aiden not wanting to eat the big onions and mommy pulling out the peppers. And it looks like they would be slimed. I mean, so those are all memories that I'm going to cherish. And I'm hoping the kids will cherish those as well. Subscribe to our channel, right? Yeah, and the bell. You get to ring the bell and then you see our videos.
