Eggplant Parmesan

June 19, 2013 by Admin 2 Comments

This is a great family dinner that really doesn’t take much time to prepare. The most work comes from slicing, breading and baking the eggplant pieces but that only takes about fifteen minutes of your time before you assemble then heat the dish in the oven. My kids love this so much I rarely have left overs, and the best thing about this whole dish? It’s meatless!

Ingredients

3 beaten eggs

About 3 cups seasoned bread crumbs

3 eggplants cut into 1 / 4 slices. I do it length wise.

1 -1 / 2 cups fresh cut mushrooms

1 teaspoons Italian seasonings

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cups spaghetti sauce

Directions

For the eggplant- Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl, bread crumbs [Read more…]

June 18, 2013 by Admin Leave a Comment

My girls love My Littlest Pet Shop! I never knew there was a cartoon though, so when I got the DVD it was a nice surprise. The cartoon LPS airs on The HUB TC Network in the USA. Shout! Factory Kids teamed up with Hasbro to release the DVD June of this year to bring some funny, upbeat, silly adventures with our all time favorite little pets.

They move into a apartment above a pet shop and she soon finds more adventure than she thought she ever would find in the city! She can talk to the pets in the shop below her and even more- they can talk back! Blythe not only talks to the pets but she helps them when trouble comes along. During her adventures [Read more…]

Oven Fried Chicken Recipe

June 5, 2013 by Admin 2 Comments

My plan was fried chicken the other night but we were late getting in from some things outside so dinner was on top of us and I didn’t have time! This is when the oven comes in handy and the chicken is still crispy for those who think “oven fried chicken” is not worth it. It is, my kids inhaled the chicken I just barely got a picture before little hands started nabbing all the chicken before my eyes.

It’s quick , it’s simple it’s dinner in under 45 minutes it’s Oven Fried Chicken!

ingredients

3 to 4lbs of chicken thighs

Around the World – Fun filled Trivia for the Globally Minded

May 24, 2013 by Admin 2 Comments

Geography, Culture & Customs, Language, People & Places around the world! Test your knowledge and have fun doing it! The Trivia kids game Around the World is jam packed with fun!

P1090663

Here’s my take on the game from the moment we got it. It’s a lot in a box, it seems overwhelming for kids at first ( this game is for ages 8+) Each stack of cards is for a different category and are all color coded. While it looks like a lot, it’s easily kept neat and the kids picked up on how to play it after a few rounds. This is a game pretty much for children who already know names of Countries and places, People, some Culture as well as Geography plus more. It’s very difficult for the kids who don’t know much about these things and it’s not as fun for the younger ones so I really suggest keeping this for the older kids. You can learn a long as you play, so far my kids and their friends

May 15, 2013 by Admin 1 Comment

If you haven’t heard of An Apple a Day by Karen Berman and Mellissa Petitto, you are going to really want to pay attention here!

We reviewed the awesome cookbook the last few weeks and I love everything about it. 365 days using apples whether it’s in a creative craft, fun facts, or recipes this book is jammed pack full of things you don’t want to miss. I tried several recipes including Apple Brownies, Pork Chops Smothered with Mushrooms and Apples ( my favorite!) and a few others which the family really enjoyed! My kids were blown away to know dishes held apples in them but I will admit they like the sweet treats more than anything.

This is the Dark Chocolate and Almond Crisp, it was so good!

With easy to follow directions tips and facts, you are presented with an easy reading cookbook that uses fairly everyday items that you will have laying around- this is very important to me! As a mother of four my days are incredible busy and at the last minute being able to grab a cookbook that will [Read more…]

I’m delighted to share a movie that my girls completely fell in love with this past week, brought to you by PBS a new animated series from Scholastic Media ( a division of scholastic. )

The movie- WordGirl VS The Energy Monster. This 50 minute movie is packed with three different learning adventures where WordGirl and her side kick named Captain Huggy Face go after bad vocabulary. Yes, that’s right, The Good guys attack villains trying to get away with bad vocabulary.

It’s a new fun and upbeat way to get kids involved into the lesson. Throughout each adventures the kids are engaged in reading comprehension, word meanings, and general vocabulary skills.

There are also some special features which the kids enjoyed, including interactive games, video shorts and coloring pages.
