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!
