]]> If you’re going to be a parent soon and are nervous about having to prepare meals for your offspring on a daily basis, this is completely natural. Any major life change is always going to seem daunting and frightening before you start. However, if we may add our two cents, we’d like to perhaps provide a hopeful glimmer for you. Because while you’ll probably find yourself in the kitchen a lot more than you’re used to, this is actually going to be the start of a beautiful journey—and here’s why.

To quote Sir Paul McCartney of The Beatles, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Being a parent will involve a lot of giving, and that also means a lot of cooking. But the more you cook for your children, the more love you’ll be creating.

This love that we speak of goes both directions. The more you cook for your kids, it’ll actually make you love them even more—and that love will always be reciprocated one way or another. In other words, you shouldn’t feel like your constant work in the kitchen is going nowhere. It all goes to something, and your job is just to do the best you can.

]]> Do you remember being a child, and how much fun it was to make your own snacks and express your creativity? Do you remember building things or telling stories as a child, again, expressing your creativity? To help pass those fun memories on to your own children, try out this fun snack you can make with them.

The banana boat requires a boat, a mast, a sail, and a crew.

For these, you’ll need:

  • A banana (the boat)
  • Melon, cut into a triangle (the sail)
  • Chocolate chips (the crew)
  • A toothpick (the mast)
  • Peanut butter (to glue it together)

Instrauctions:

In technicality, this is very simply a snack of banana with peanut butter and chocolate chips. But we’re going to make it more than that by building a “boat” out of the ingredients.

Start by cutting a ridge through your banana long ways, so that you’re left with a fault line wide enough for a crew running down the banana. Next, fill the fault line with peanut butter. 

Now, attach the sail to the mast by skewering the triangular melon on the toothpick. Then stick the toothpick upright into the banana, thus giving your boat a mast and a sail.

Finally, add the chocolate chip crew. Encourage the kids to tell a story with these materials—who’s in the crew, where they put each of them, and why are they out at sea? This way kids have a little more than just a snack that they’ve created—they’ve created a story.

Finally, eat the boat!

The Grandpa’s Kitchen channel has been active for two years and it has over 5 million subscribers. Nobody seems to know the grandpa’s name, but that isn’t stopping him from doing what he does best – cooking for the less fortunate kids.

Every video starts with him saying the mantra he believes in: “Loving, caring, sharing. This is my family.” Along with a few assistants, he then prepares giant portions of food that are later taken to local orphanages.

See the videos below to meet this amazing man.
