stuffed peppers

  Got a bit of extra veggies you want to use up before they go bad? Stuff them into a pepper :)

We have made variations of this before.. but its always a crowd pleaser. Even for our picky eater.

Couscous, beef, corn, kale ...etc. all stuffed into green peppers and sprinkled with cheese.

Even the as leftovers. yum! 

Squirrel feeder...

  We have a little apple tree

Its quite blooming with fruit this year

We couldnt not eat them all

So we decided to share

     

  

        The squirrels seem to like them

      They are almost gone already..

Monday nights dinner...

So my youngest native wanted to make dinner

we happen to have a bowl of feta cheese 

ready to be stuffed into shells.

We had some super large pasta shells

And boiled them for about 2 minutes..

 

We then drained the shells and she began stuffing them 

full of cheesy goodness

This was quite fun for her

and easy enough

  

A little time consuming

but she made conversation

and had herself some

serious concentration going on

while she filled each shell 

as full as possible

She placed each shell

carefully into an oven safe dish

Once done she covered the shells in a pre-made pasta sauce

And a LOT of mozzarella

Then we put it in the oven for about half an hour 

and tada!!

A delicious meal 

and a very proud little native!

win win

Coloring in our organs...

 We have traced their lifesized bodies onto paper

in the name of science

we are slowly filling them in

Today we learned about our digestion system

It is fun to learn together

and see their faces

when they hear what happens to all that yummy food ;)

We get to look at these awesome bodies

God has given us

and the youngest native was happy to share

she already knew

why we poop.

our days are hardly lacking in color...

Getting into our groove

a space

a place we can learn

and sit

together

Family day at the beach

AKA

{Friday's field trip}

The man was home early today..

So after some quick lessons on how to properly clean house

We headed out for a day at the beach!

It was still a school day

so we had the natives search the shoreline for

biotic & abiotic items

(that covered science)

Then we worked on our history

We have been studying Ancient Egypt

the Pharoahs Tombs

and how they built pyramids

So we had them do just that!
