I don't love cooking as a hobby, and I'm not amazing at it, but I do like being able to make something tasty on my own. Makes me feel accomplished

I plan on making sure my kids don't leave the nest without knowing how to make fairly easy tasty & healthy meals. I'd start with basic food all kids will want to eat like hotdogs, noodles, veggie soup, grilled cheese, spaghetti, etc. Not all the best choices, but my notion is (especially 13yrs+), if you can ask to eat it, you better know how to prepare it yourself if its really simple.
Before then, I expect them to be little helpers and help prepare the food they plan on stuffing down their throat lol. If not, you're on clean up duty (the ENTIRE kitchen & eating area!)

I don't know what's so interesting about a blender, but even as a baby Leah loved it. I'd add colouring (pink - blegh) and cinnamon and everything she asked, until she could hold the top and work it herself - it's not hard, obviously, but the messes were a pain to clean up. She's a fan of baking because she's a fan of batter, so that came about with no help from me.
Takeout was another thing altogether, but when she learned we could recreate the same thing at home as we got from the restaurant (Ramen counts, right?), Leah officially became a member of our family's foodie gang.

Now, do I actually make my own bread today? Not really. (I tend to prefer using the machine, to be honest.) But having something to play with while learning was a lot of fun.
Something my mom also did was to have a baking day, one day a week dedicated to baking something, whether that be bread, pies, or cookies. Those were always a good way for us to spend some quality time with her and learn the basics of baking.
