Styluses ... Styli' ... Those tablet things!

I had to make a quick run to Clovis last night to finish getting some Valentine stuff for the classroom and things to make a basketball shirt (for the last home game ... I'm a little behind!). When I ran into Big Lots I went by the electronics to see if I could find any inexpensive styluses for the classroom. We do a lot of Nearpod assessments since I saw it on A Kinder Kindergarten blog post back in November. The kids use their fingers and we tried a homemade stylus that just wasn't working well, so we needed something.

Zucchini and Squash Chips!

By: Breanna Molix-Scott  |  Posted: February 9, 2016 


If you have been following along lately, you know I’ve been on a mission to work through a surplus of fresh produce. One of my favorite ways to transform delicious squash into a crowd-pleasing snack, especially for a Super Bowl Sunday spread, is by turning them into savory, golden chips.

In the past, I usually opted for roasting my zucchini and squash with a simple toss of Weber’s seasoning and olive oil. Why? Because getting a breaded coating to actually adhere to the high-moisture surface of a squash can be a structural challenge! However, with a few technique adjustments, I’ve found a way to make that breading stay put for a satisfying, durable crunch.

Currently February

AAAAHHHHHH! It's been February for a week now! What happen to January!?! Since I've been slacking on my personal blog for the past month, I guess now's as good a time as any to start up again! Because I LOVE it and don't want to miss out, I'm linking up with Farley again for this month's Currently!


Pizza Bites!

A couple of weeks ago I went grocery shopping. I'm not sure why considering I knew I was going to spend most of my time at school with no time to cook! Yesterday I remembered all this produce I had that needed to get cooked and eaten ASAP before it went bad! I love making French bread and pizza dough and had all these veggies ... so pizza bites it was! and they were gooooooood.

Homemade Pizza Dough!

Being single and having virtually no one to cook for means either having to adapt a recipe, eat the same time for an entire week unless you let it go bad, or just make your own version from scratch. I prefer to make my own from scratch. And that's exactly what I choose to do when it comes to things like pizza! Here's my recipe for homemade pizza dough!
