Simple schooling + Simple meals = Simple days!
Lots of veggies….no dressing needed!Ingredients:
4 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 yellow pepper, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 cup salsa (I used homemade)

3/4 cup frozen corn
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (plus more for topping if you wish)
Optional: cilantro, avocado, salsa for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients (except for optional garnishes) and combine well.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Garnish with your favorite toppings!
I made a couple of individual servings to have for quick and easy lunches this week.
I served my portion as a topping to my salad, along with some homemade guacamole and salsa! Super simple and super delicious!Simple schooling days means more hands on learning! We’re having a blast reading Little House in the Big Woods and thought we needed some “dolls” just like Laura and Mary.
So simple “Yarn Dolls” it was!
Princess Makenna made hers big enough to sleep with…
And my princess Cailyn made hers small enough to carry in her pocket!From the “Big Woods” to Ancient China we go! Today we learned about the “Chinese Lantern Festival” during the Chinese New Year Celebration and decided to make some colorful lanterns ourselves.
Construction paper, scissors, tape, a stapler, some glue and a few jewels was all we needed!
Lanterns of many colors now hang from the chandelier in our school room….today we made learning fun and simple!Nourishing Thought for Today:
It’s “simple”….
The light of God surrounds me,
The love of God enfolds me,
The presence of God protects me,
God is always with me!
Blessings,
