Quick & Easy Frittata

For lunch today, I made a surprisingly quick, easy, and semi-healthy (except-for-the-cheese-and-potato) frittata. --and all with ingredients in the fridge. You can add or omit ingredients to your liking, and depending on what' in your freezer or fridge.

Quick and Easy Frittata

1 tb oil (EVOO)
1 hasbrown patty (thawed overnight in fridge if frozen)
1/2 c frozen veggies (also thawed overnight in fridge, if possible) -- I used onion, and red, green, and yellow pepper
1/2 c finely chopped fresh spinach (yep, spinach again!)
turkey bacon, crumbled OR bacon bits
1 egg (I use egg substitute)
1/4 c shredded cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Warm up oil in small pan. In small dish, crumble up and grind hashbrown patty, then combine veggies and bacon. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until hashbrowns are browned and veggies sauteed to desired consistency. Add eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Let sit for about 3-4 minutes, then flip. Finish cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!

(Shhh.... Sneaky) Sloppy Joes

Want to bulk up a simple classic with some veggies? Try my Sneaky Sloppy Joes. Sauté some onions, garlic (two staples I put in just about any skillet dish), finely diced squash, finely chopped spinach. You can also add finely diced carrots, bell peppers of assorted colors, brocolli, and whatever else you can sneak in to the pan! I do all this before browning the ground turkey. Then, prepare as you normally would, whether your sloppy joe sauce is canned, enveloped, or made-from-scratch (c'mon!). I've been packing mine with extra veggies for over a year, and no one is none the wiser. Yet. (Please don't show this to my family... please?) This recipe is also posted under my Big Oven account. :o)

100+ Sensory Table Ideas for Your Preschooler

As a preschool teacher, I’m always looking for ways to spice things up in my classroom, including new and fun sensory table ideas. Thankfully, an amazing coworker created a master list many moons ago, and shared it with me as I was starting out.

Sensory tables provide an opportunity for preschoolers to experience a wide array of fine motor skills, as well as some gross motor skills, all a sensory-rich environment. Don’t have a full-blown sensory table for your home or your classroom? Remember, water/sand tables make great sensory tables, too! Also, the sensory table ideas listed below can be mixed and matched for whole new levels of experience. Toss in tools to assist in manipulating the items in the table, such as cups and measuring spoons for pouring, tongs/kid-friendly tweezers, and scissors for snipping and cutting. Also, you...
