May 25 - 29 COVID 19 - School Schedule

The last two weeks of space were so much fun! I'm sure we missed some planets and other topics about space but my son has become very interested in bees as of late and I think its time to learn about these amazing creatures.


Our plants are doing well still and we had to plant them in our garden as they were needing bigger containers and the long range looked not too bad so far. We will definitely still watch what its going to be at night and might have to cover them if its looking like it will be too cool out.





My oldest sons class is growing sunflowers right now so we have also been spending time talking about the life cycle of a seed. We finally have some sprouts on our sunflowers as well and he is really excited about it! His writing has really come along and he is just a reading champion right now. He loves to read books on EPIC as you get points for reading books and move up reading levels. He is so excited that his is at the highest level in his class (even though there are probably only two other kids using the app lol)


My youngest son is really exploring with his vocabulary. I feel like he is saying new words everyday and it is just the best listening to him tell us what he wants and needs. I have been trying to get him to count with me for what feels like forever and he is finally starting to do it!

Black bean Sweet Potato Quesadillas

Sorry for the lack of posting but with the end of the school year near and a kindergartener learning online at home we have been a little busy over here!  This was not a typical mean for us as it was meatless but we’ve been trying to mix up our meal plans with a meatless meal once a week. This was a delicious sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. Lots of flavours and so filling!  We have been trying to incorporate one meatless meal a week which has been fun and challenging. It has really forced me to think out of the box with different meal ideas and this one was just too good not to share. It is kid friendly which is very important in our house.  I also really liked this meal as I was able to bake the sweet potato a head of time and then have everything ready for when it was time to make dinner. It was really easy and a lot of fun to make them together.  Ingredients: 1 sweet potato 1 tbsp busters BBQ rub  I can black beans or kidney beans drained and rinsed  Shredded cheese  Diced r

Banana Cinnamon Muffins

These muffins have been a hit in our house for a couple of years now. My one son (who we call the muffin man) asks for them all the time. I love this recipe too because it is so versatile. I have made them plain, added a cinnamon sugar topping, added chocolate chips and even raspberries or blueberries. My favourite is adding a blueberry raspberry mixture. My children obviously love the chocolate chips or cinnamon sugar topping.  I honestly love how easy and versatile this recipe is. It seems to taste delicious no matter what I add to it. I also love that it can be made in one bowl and I have less dishes to do in the end. BUT my absolute favourite part about this recipe is how easy it is to make with my boys. They both love to help out in the kitchen and this is a simple enough recipe for them to help out with.  INGREDIENTS: - 2/3 cup sugar - 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil - 2 large eggs - 2 bananas mashed - 1 tsp vanilla - 1 2/3 cups flour - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1/2 ts

Fresh Tomato Marinara/Pizza Sauce

-

 We LOVE pizza in this house and any way to add extra flavour to make it better I am all over that. We had an abundance of tomatoes come off our tomato plants this year and were needing to come up with more ways as to how to use them. I was able to make soup and pasta sauce and then thought that this pizza sauce would be another great option as we eat pizza pretty regularly. I also froze a lot of tomatoes as it was hard to keep up with them all turning red at the same time. Frozen tomatoes work well with this sauce as well as they are getting cooked down anyway.  This sauce is a runnier sauce as I'm not a fan of a super thick pizza sauce and love how it adds just a touch of flavour to the pizza. If you are wanting it to thicken more, add some tomato paste to help it thicken.  Ingredients: 16 cups chopped tomatoes (Garden fresh add a lot more flavour) 1 onion 1-2 full heads of Garlic (I LOVE garlic so I tend to add more) 2 TBSP Olive Oil  2 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 TBSP Basil  2 TBS
