Throwback Tuesday: How We Pack Our Days Full of Science Discoveries

Image
 *Originally published March 18, 2013 when my boys were 5, 7, & 8    My boys just love science!  They continually ask for fun science experiments, watch movies about animals, nature, and science and read about all sorts of science concepts through our books. Today the boys begged to watch the Science of Disney Imagineering videos so we ended up spending our morning learning about gravity , fluids , and energy . I think they were still disappointed that they were only able to watch them each once though.  At one point they stopped the movies and gathered up all their stuffed animals and blankets and brought them downstairs.  They spread out all the blankets & set up their animals so that their animals could watch too. My boys spent the afternoon at their Mad Science camp learning all about the science behind crime scene investigation. When I picked them up they were all excited to tell me about the mock crime scene that...

Talking About it Tuesday #112

Happy St. Patrick's day! I've got my corned beef recipe ready to go, I like to boil the corned beef and cabbage then finish the corned beef off under the broiler with a brown sugar/mustard glaze on it. We roast potatoes and carrots to go with it and I'm making a pistachio layered dessert I remember from my childhood. Hopefully everyone else in the house will like it too.    We had another very successful link party last week. Thank you all for coming back week after week and sharing as well as reading and commenting on others.

Our Family's Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe

Image
 I first saw an egg roll in a bowl on Holly's blog and we followed her recipe exactly but as time went on I started adding other things to our recipe so while I'm sure it's not really an egg roll in a bowl recipe with our additions the name stuck. We do like the addition of more fruits and veggies and I hope you do too!    Ingredients: Makes 4 very large servings if eating by itself 6 servings if you serve it over rice. 1.3 lbs ground lean turkey (or beef/chicken/tofu crumbles) 1 small onion; chopped  2 cloves garlic; minced  1/2 head of cabbage; shredded (about 6 cups) 1 cup shredded carrot 2 cups pineapple chunks 1 cup sliced mushrooms  1 handful pea pods   2 Tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos 1 Tablespoon ginger 1 pinch of red pepper flakes or 1 tsp hoisin sauce   Optional cooked rice to serve it over   First I cook up the ground turkey with the garlic and onion until the turkey is cooked through and the onions are nice and sof...
