Hey there! Let’s talk about Eva Longoria, the proud mom who’s teaching her adorable son, Santiago, some seriously sweet life skills. In a heartwarming video shared on Instagram, the former "Desperate Housewives" star showed her 13-month-old toddler helping her whip up a refreshing lemon sorbet right in their kitchen, all while staying safe during the pandemic. Talk about quality family bonding!
With a playful caption, “When life gives you lemons…you make sorbet!!,” the 45-year-old actress posted the cutest clip on May 6. Eva, looking chic in a white dress and light makeup, gave us all a behind-the-scenes look at her culinary adventure with her little sous chef. This wasn’t just about cooking—it was about creating unforgettable memories with her son.

So, why sorbet? Eva explained, “I’m making lemon sorbet because I have three lemon trees, and I’m just overflowing with them.” The "Dora and the Lost City of Gold" star then introduced her tiny helper, Santiago, who was ready to lend a hand—or at least try. “We’re going to squeeze lemons… about a cup’s worth, and Santi’s going to help me!” she said, with the excitement of a true mom on a mission.
Family Fun in the Kitchen
As the video rolled on, we got to see Eva and her handsome tot, whom she shares with husband José Bastón, having the time of their lives. Santiago was dressed in bright yellow, matching the cheerful vibe of the yellow sorbet they were making. Eva couldn’t help but gush, “Santi’s wearing yellow in honor of our yellow sorbet!”
Throughout the process, Eva praised her little boy every step of the way. “Thank you, my precious life,” she said in Spanish as Santiago helped squeeze lemon juice into a measuring cup. “Great job! Thank you, papa! Muchas gracias!” Her pride in her son’s efforts was evident, and it melted our hearts.
When the Recipe Gets Serious
As the recipe started to get more involved, Eva had Santiago take a seat in his high chair so he could watch the rest of the process. But don’t worry, this mom made sure her toddler didn’t miss a beat. From start to finish, Eva showed us every step, making it feel like we were right there with them.

And the final result? “It’s ready to eat!” she exclaimed at the end of her video. “Nothing beats making fresh sorbet from lemons right off my tree.” Who could resist that kind of homemade goodness?
With quarantine keeping everyone indoors, Eva has been finding creative ways to keep herself and Santi entertained. Back in late April, the "Devious Maids" star uploaded a tutorial on how to make homemade pasta, proving she’s not just a sorbet expert but a pasta pro as well.
“One of my favorite things to do is make pasta from scratch!” she captioned a video featuring Santi. “I’m no expert, but I wanted to share my recipe with y’all! Enjoy!” Eva’s willingness to share these moments with her fans is truly special.
Staying Fit and Having Fun
Besides baking and cooking, Eva’s also been keeping up with her fitness routine during quarantine. In late March, she shared a hilarious clip of herself working out next to her adorable toddler. “Working out that bum! Decided to break out some new workout equipment while staying home,” she joked in the caption.
And just like any toddler, Santi got distracted by the ants outside. Eva laughed it off, saying, “We went ‘outside’ because it was sunny, but Santi got distracted looking for ants.” It’s these little moments that remind us how important it is to stay present and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
