Zucchini Casserole


Ya know I feel like such an accomplished farmer when I can grow one of the easiest plants...Zucchini. So tonight in honor of the many zucchinis we will be harvesting over the next month, we had zucchini casserole. And it was darn good! The kids ate most of what was on their plate even Lyndee.


2 cups of diced zucchini (small cubes, please if they are too big..kids will not eat)
1 small can whole corn, drained
1 small can diced green chiles (we used hot because that is what we had..next time..mild for the kids)
1 small onion diced
1 clove of garlic..(we used two)
2/3 cups grated cheese
1 pound of ground beef (we don't eat beef so ground turkey was yummers!)
1 can of tomato sauce

Brown the meat and mix it all together. We topped it with alittle extra cheese. Put in baking dish and bake at 350 for about a 1/2 hour or until done. Then we topped it with our Macayo's taco sauce (can be bought at Fry's) but you can use salsa if you want.

Yum! I always need a good zucchini recipe. Last year I planted 2 plants and couldn't get rid of all the zucchini fast enough. This year I accidentally planted FOUR plants!!! (long story). So, I'm pretty sure we are living off a full zucchini diet for the rest of the summer. =)

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
