100% on point. We luckily realized what was up with him at a young age rather than just thinking he needed an arse whoopin. Certain things demand his focus ... cooking, fishing, Tae Kwon Do, and trains for some reason.
But he loves to cook. Hell, he gets all Obi Wan Kenobi on me waiting on the crawfish pot to come to a boil. It's hilarious and awesome at the same time ... it's like the sound of a jet propane burner speaks to his soul and helps him channel the Force.

If I can give you any more advice, keep him off that medicine as much as humanly possible. That crap is poison! I understand it may be necessary at times especially with school, but the more you can train his mind to function without it, the better. You can't take speed everyday without it addling your brain.

My teenage sons like packaged ramen. Add a fried egg on top and they are good to go.
If interested, I'd suggest heading over to The Asian Supermarket on Florida Blvd. They have a great selection of instant ramen styles.
They usually have a lot of sodium though.

I started out with spaghetti and quesadillas.
Of course once you can brown meat you can cook a bunch of other stuff.
Otherwise I mostly Taught myself to cook as an adult.

Making a pizza together is fun. And kids love pizza.

Teach them how to properly brown meat, blacken fish or shrimp, clarify and brown onions, make a roux, make a gravy, and cook rice. That the basis for a lot of Cajun recipes.
If you know know how to brown onions and meat and can cook rice you can make a jambalaya.
If you know how to make a roux you can make a gumbo.
If you know how to brown meat and make a roux you can a stew.
Teach them techniques and not focus so much on recipes.

This thread reminds me. We have a friend who has a daughter the same age as my oldest. 6 years old, wakes up on her own, cooks her own eggs for breakfast start to finish.
My damn kid wakes me up at 6 am to pour her a cup of milk.
my oldest that are 10 and 8 make their own breakfast. 8 year old usually cooks eggs scrambled and usuallya piece of dear sausage.
Helps me a ton in the morning. Working on teaching them other things. Think I may make them cook something sunday.

Breakfast.
I am constantly amazed by the number of people who can't cook a decent pancake or mess up eggs. Biscuits, bacon, omelets, hashbrowns, etc. Lots of good basics to teach starting with breakfast foods.

Teach them the basics of things like egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad. Seems too simple, but it’s a good example of a template they can follow that allows for improvisation.
If each has a specific favorite food, learning to make that can feel,pretty empowering to a kid.
Maybe give em a special little recipe notebook so they can write down ingredients? Or you can help them describe steps, etc. or they can print out online recipes that you prepare together and paste into the notebook. Will be an anwesome keepsake in 20 years, and gives em something to do during cooking downtime (like waiting for water to boil)
