May 4 - 8 COVID - 19 School Schedule

Its Dinosaur Week and let me tell you, this is all I've heard about all weekend long. Last week was a blast with Shark week! We learnt so much new information about sharks and really had a lot of fun learning about the 400 different types of sharks! I now feel like if I ever catch myself in a conversation about sharks I will be able to contribute. Lol


Our plants project is really taking off and I'm thinking now that the weather is starting to get warmer I will move them out into the garage so I can put them out into the sun during the day and then back in the garage so they are warm over night. This will also help with their transition to being planted (I think).


We definitely have been doing a mix of the activities I have planned as well as the things his teacher sends every morning. I always start with our educational video. This gets him into the learning mode and allows me to see what his teacher sent out this morning as well as finish cleaning the kitchen from breakfast. Once the video is done we go onto EPIC and read our book that goes along with our video and then move onto one of our books for my son to read or a similar leveled book from EPIC that his teacher has assigned to him. From there we either move onto the writing activity I have planned or do what his teacher has sent or sometimes I even sneak in both activities. Its nice to have the extra work as this is stuff we can then pick away at throughout the day as the days can become long if we don't have structure and a plan.

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
