This week I have collected many ideas and recipes that I want to try, use, or just hang on to until just the right moment.
I therefore decided to start a learning from others series in order to feature, share, and save the great ideas that I find each week.
Recipes that I can't wait to try!
Debi at Life Currents, posted an amazing recipe for Red Pepper and Fresh Mozzarella Lasagna. I can't eat tomatoes but she suggested boiling down some red pepper soup to make a substitute sauce- she has promised to post the recipe for the soup in the near future! Thanks Debi!
Ruth's Real Food posted a recipe for Carrot Patties. I've never heard of these before and am thinking they could be a fun after school snack and possibly something I could pack in a lunch. She uses coconut flour and coconut oil... I don't have either of these (yet) so will probably substitute for these.
Lisa from Two Bear's Farm posted a recipe for Southern Style Black Eyed Peas. My kids love beans and kielbasa but we've never had Black Eyed Peas so I'm excited to give it a try!
JDaniel4's Mom posted about Pumpkin Chili in a cornbread muffin, and Pumpkin Dip for apples. These sound like perfect fall treats- think I may make some of the pumpkin dip for dessert tonight!
A reader on Money Saving Mom posted a tip for making your own cream of mushroom soup. There are quite a few recipes that I'd like to "revamp" using this suggestion!
Here are my favorite mom tips:
Krafty Kat posted some fun kid crafts- My favorite is the jar toppers- Can't wait til I have some empty jars so that I can make some!
Gratefully Growing in Grace posted some great ideas for teaching colors. I plan to use these help teach my 2 year old his colors.
Happy Whimsical Hearts posted an idea for making dinosaur fossils- this looks like a lot of fun!
Finally, I wrote a post on Tuesday about Handling the Halloween Aftermath. Creative Family Moments had a great post about doing Candy Experiments. It's an idea I hadn't thought of and seems like a great way to help make some of the candy stash "disappear"!
I look forward to trying out these ideas and finding some new ones next week! What have you learned from others these week?
Thanks for sharing our idea - I'm a collector too and I love that we all share our ideas in blogland :-)
ReplyDeleteThose carrot patties look interesting! We like veggie nuggets here so the kiddos might like those, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to my color fun post. It's actually a little "series" I'm doing. Blue is the third color we've done and there are several more to come with more toddler play ideas.
Happy Whimsical Hearts- it's my favorite thing about blogging... so many ideas! Now if I only had more time :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda- do you make your own veggie nuggets? I've seen pre-made ones but they always have soy in them and my daughter is allergic...
I looks like a wonderful collection of ideas! Thank you for including me.
ReplyDeleteI've used this recipe:

I've also used a variation on this that uses cheese but I can't find it.
Love your blog, by the way!
Thanks Amanda. I'll have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteCarrot patties?!? I have to try those!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! Thanks for sharing my red pepper lasagna. I'm honored!
ReplyDeleteHere's the red pepper soup, as promised. http://lifecurrents.dw2.net/?p=6308
I hope you like it! :)
