Introducing J, my famous Tuesday night Kitchen Helper. 
The girls each have one night a week when they help me with dinner. Tuesday is J's night - Chili Night! My Home Group meets on Tuesday nights so we eat dinner early, and I have to leave shortly after eating. Chili makes for an easy one pot meal that cooks quickly and is super easy clean up. And chili is something J can be really hands on. Dump the cans of beans in the pot and stir them together. (I'm so thankful for a family favorite that is so simple.)

While the chili is heating on the stove, J prepares bowls of Fritos and A's pre-dinner. Pre-dinner is food that keeps him occupied until after Andy or I finish eating and can feed him dinner.
