I’ve been hearing about this overnight oats “craze” for a while now. Different recipes all over Pinterest, people talking about how good oats are for you. Making up my mind to try this was difficult for me, because I love eggs for breakfast. Salty savory breakfasts are my thing! (Sprouted toast, goat cheese, and an over-hard egg is my go-to!)…
In the winter, one would think schedules slow down, at least a little bit. Well…not when you are an archery family! The winter brings indoor leagues and NASP tournaments! So throughout the week, my husband and I are usually running in two different directions and supper is a trick! Insert thankfulness for the invention of a crockpot here. My husband…
Last summer, I gave up sweetened creamers for my coffee. I know, crazy, right?? (Disclaimer: this does not include the occasional Starbucks, Dunkin, or Sheetz coffee treat.). I knew I needed to lower the amount of sugar I consumed and this was a step in that direction. I also was trying to lower my dairy intake to reduce inflammation. Please…
I love fall! I love the leaves changing, the cooler weather, and pumpkins! I love looking at pumpkin displays along the road and at the farmers market. Seeing the different ways they grow and the uniqueness of them all is so neat! I’m sitting here on a snowy day the week before Thanksgiving. While it is still indeed fall, it…
A few weekends ago, while we were visiting family in Virginia, we stopped at Wendy’s for lunch. One of their featured drinks in the summer is lemonade. This gave me an idea. I wanted to make my own homemade, freshly squeezed lemonade. And while I’m at it, I’d like to make berry lemonade too! (Since I’ve been experimenting with fruit-infused…
One of my favorite summer drinks is sun tea! We don’t have it every day, but once in a while, I’ll brew some in a mason jar on the sidewalk. The weather has been warming up, so I’ve been getting the itch to do summer things. I recently thought of this self-proclaimed genius idea: fruit infused sun tea! A while…
In my class, we recently talked about fractions. Nothing too complex, just how to identify, write and read them. I teach first graders, after all! We recently baked cookies at school as a class as part of our fractions unit. I’ve done this a time or two before, but I usually had some help. This time, I was alone. All…
When we have holidays, I like to try to make something cute, creative, and unique. Some are wins, and some are big losers! I guess this is the nature of Pinterest! (If I could use a laughing emoji, it would go here!) There are many different pictures and recipes for these M&M pretzel flowers on Pinterest, so I cannot say…
A few weeks ago, a friend at school was warming up part of her lunch, and pretty soon the whole teacher’s room smelled like delicious cinnamon and apples! Her son made this healthy dessert for their family, and she was fortunate enough to have leftovers to bring to school and waft under our noses! I asked for her recipe so…
Last year, we grew a lot of red beets. Like, A LOT! So, I knew I had plenty to use throughout the year! About every two weeks or so, I make a batch of pickled red beet eggs. Some, or many, of you have probably made red beet eggs at one point in your life. But I found a system…
