Yesterday I made the most yummy chicken recipe....

I'm not a huge fan of this couple's show.... but Momma likes their Chicken! I will say for my taste the recipe calls for a little too much salt- Dave (the anti chicken man) liked it.... My kids felt it was a little too spicy.... I thought it was perfect. I love the alternative of spritzing olive oil to frying. Yummy! The chicken at 45 minutes was completely tender!

Today, I made shirley temple slushies for the kids.... They were in heaven Soda that was a slushy and red!!! Could it get better?

Then, I made an odd missstepped attempt at fried rice for dinner.... my pan is still soaking!

The kids have been learning so much on their summer project of learning by continent. We are now on Asia which has been tough because the cultures are so thoroughly different. But we have done projects within each continent that reflect pictures and stories about the continent. While continuing to teach the same principal methods of reading, math, science, phonics, language. The kids have liked the math portion so much they are now counting and adding each page in English than Spanish. I too, have been learning with them trying to pick adult books that go along with the continent we are learning about. It is teaching me to think outside the box.
