Home Education Week - Day 4 - "Recipe For Success"Today for Home Education Week, we're supposed to share a recipe, either figuratively, as in a recipe for success, or an actual recipe for something to cook. Since I am still trying to figure out this recipe for success in homeschooling, I think I'd better stick to what I do know. Food. - In our family, each child has different favorites when it comes to food. None of my children are really what I would call picky eaters, which is a blessing, I know! BigBub's favorite meal of all time is a casserole that I make called "Poppyseed Chicken". I think it's pretty common, but I'll share the recipe anyways in case someone hasn't heard of it and wants to try it. And forgive me for not knowing exact measurements because I just make this one from memory, not by looking at a recipe card. -
- And although that one is considered BigBub's favorite at our house, I've never known anyone that didn't like it! We usually serve it up with mashed potatoes, corn, and hot biscuits. - Sis doesn't really have a tried-and-true-absolute-favorite meal. She likes a lot of different things and will generally eat whatever is placed on the table each night. But she does tend to get particularly excited when I make something that has broccoli in it. Yes, it is strange. She is a strange child. - One thing I make frequently for a quick, healthy meal is stir-fry. I always keep a bag of Bird's Eye Oriental Stir-Fry frozen vegetables w/sauce in the freezer. I usually add some diced up chicken breasts and white rice to make a full meal. Sis really loves this dish, and always asks for extra broccoli. Click here to visit the Bird's Eye company website and get a copy of the recipe. They give two options, to either microwave or saute the veggies. As I said, we always prepare it as a stir-fry, so we make ours in a skillet. I wish I had a wok. - As for LilBub, he's a kid who doesn't like to take a lot of time to sit down and eat a proper meal. He likes to eat on the go, or have an "eat-walk" as he calls it. That means he wants to get a bite, then walk in the other room to do something else, then come back for another bite, etc... Not that I always allow this, but sometimes I do when we're not having a formal, family meal together. And LilBub's favorite food? Green beans. Yes, he's another strange child. But hey, if the kid wants green beans, who am I to argue? He loves 'em! - And I try to keep snacks handy because, let's face it, schoolwork makes kids (and moms!) hungry! Some of our favorites are:
- So that's some of our favorites. I'm anxious to read what other homeschool mamas are saying over at Dana's (@ Principled Discovery). I'm hoping to get some new ideas to try out on my family! 1:58 PM - Apr. 2, 2008 - post comment
