Don't Glop on the Slop Recipe and we ate salad!!!

(slop pictured above)
I have been trying to find new recipes that are fast, kid friendly, not too fattening, and of course tasty. I came across this recipe called Chinese Hamburger on this site here. It needed another name...SLOP because that is what it looked like. The taste of it wasn't too bad. Son ate alot of it and even wanted it in his lunch.

2-3 Cups cooked rice ( i used three)
1/2-1 lb. ground hamburger (use ground turkey)
1 Tablespoon soy sauce (use lite)
2-3 Cups cream of mushroom soup or 2 cans (use fat free)

Step 1: Make rice.
Step 2: While rice is cooking, brown hamburger (I browned it with some onion). Drain and set aside.
Step 3: Mix cooked rice with browned hamburger.
Step 4: Stir in cream of mushroom soup and soy sauce.
Step 5: Taste test and add more soy sauce if desired.

Then eat...but then you will realize that it needs something else so this is what we tried......GLOP, in other words (sweet red chili sauce) Ahhhh! Yumarama! Do not glop it on just enough to cover your helping.

Now on to more nutritious things (did you know that nutritious is spelled wrong at Broulim's on the wall above the milk...Oh ya it totally bothers me and I feel like I should say something but I won't)...We ate salad last week. Well, some of us it did and one of us turned her nose up at it. The piece that she is putting in her mouth is the center of romaine lettuce. She however thought it was celery and proceeded to eat it but spit it out. Then she got some dressing on her fingers. She freaked out saying, "Get it off of me" like it was acid. But she is going to be in for a real treat when we eat more salads this summer. Maybe she didn't like italian dressing.  Oh...she and her brother wanted to know if the grape tomatoes were berries. Sure they were we replied. They found it soon that they were not.
Why is eating salad a monumental milestone? Lettuce makes me sick to my stomach.

I can only eat organic lettuce. I NEVER eat lettuce in restaurants or from the bags in the produce section. Its treated with a chemical that makes me extremely sick to my stomach.

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...
