Tomatoes, A Recipe and a Planning Plea

Posted by Cindy on August 13, 2008

A sinkful of fresh tomatoes in our house turns into about eleven quarts of diced tomatoes!

And here’s a new recipe I concocted to use up the canned tomatoes.  I had a quart that didn’t seal, plus some corn and peppers that needed to be used.  I didn’t have any ground beef, but I did have some shredded chicken in the freezer.  So I made a *yummy*….

Chicken Chili

  • 1 quart diced tomatoes and juice
  • 1-2 green peppers, diced
  • a cob or two of fresh corn cut off the cob (or a can, drained)
  • a can of beans -any type- with juice (I used great northern)
  • shredded chicken, about 2 cups
  • about 1/2 cup of chili mix
  • extra water to suit your taste

Mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil.  Simmer for about 30 minutes.  As you can see, the recipe isn’t a science, but it sure is yummy!

Now for the serious stuff…..Where are your Charlotte Mason planning and organizing posts???  I know, I know, they’re coming.  I see many of you are procrastinators like me, huh??

We’re not looking for huge, in-depth posts (unless you want.)  Just a simple post about something you have planned or organized to enhance CM-style learning.

  • Have you made an artist study plan for the year?
  • Have you put together a nature study area?
  • Have you decided on a living book list for the semester?
  • Have you made a plan for specific handicrafts?
  • Have you organized any areas of your schoolroom?

Okay, you get the idea.  Now, go write!  :o )

Oh, and submit your posts here.
