Mother's Day Challenge 💓


Can't go shopping? 

How about an EDIBLE gift for mom?  

I received this card in the mail from a dear friend who makes HANDMADE cards.  I was encouraged, and it made my day!  

 During these challenging times, it is more important than ever to let our loved ones know how much we appreciate them!   

 I hope you will show LOVE & APPRECIATION to your mom this weekend!  

 TASK: 
Choose a recipe to make/cook/bake for her.  Perhaps Breakfast in Bed?  Lunch?  Dinner? or Dessert?  --Your choice! 
(If you are living with a host mom, how can you show her your appreciation to her?💓)

 Lucas' Show and Share: 

 My son made one of my favourites:  Cheese Quesadillas while I had a shower!  (I helped a little bit. 😄)



Quesadillas  mise en place: Dice sausages, white cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, parsley, guacamole sauce 


Cooked over a low stove, covered for 3-4 minutes to melt cheese, place second tortilla over top, flip to lightly brown other side.

  

Garnished with more parsley, served hot! 
EXPLORE: 
Explore your Family's History


"The more children knew about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem and the more successfully they believed their families functioned. The “Do You Know?” scale turned out to be the best single predictor of children’s emotional health and happiness...." ~ Dr. Duke and Dr. Fivush, psychologist


Possible questions to ask parents (but not limited): 

1.  How did my parents meet?
2.  When a did our family arrive in Canada?
3. What were some of our grandparents's challenges?
4.  Dad, Mom,what celebrations and foods were an important part your childhood? 
5.  Did your parents have a favourite/dislikes of dishes when you were little? 

(If your parents are not with you, and you are staying with a guardian/home-stay, ask your parents in an email, or during a video chat.  It is even more important that you stay connected with your family if they are far away from you.)   

SHOW AND SHARE: 
Upload 4-5 process and final product photos of your cooking and baking, plus a photo of yourself. 
TURN IN:
Self Reflection Questions: 
1. When I cooked/baked, I  learned....

2. What cooking/baking techniques did you use?

3.  Would you make this again? 

4.  Share something you learned about your family from the Explore section, when you asked about your family.  (Please choose something that is not too personal or embarrassing to a member of your family.)

5.  What is one thing you appreciate about your mom and/family?  Tell this or write in a note to your parent(s)

Where's the Beef ???!!!

  Come n' git it!   ...That's what I call out to my kids.  You'd  think that they would com runnin' But NO, these days, they would rather play Minecraft or watch You Tube instead of eatin' a decent dinner!  I have a real beef with this!  Why aren't they coming to dinner?   COVID-19 has given them new access and freedom on electronic devices! My kids have never had so much screen time!   They have difficulty working on their homework being in grade 4 and 6, and doing the best job they can to complete school assignments on line.  The temptation of video games is only a click away!  It is especially challenging when I have to look over my shoulder to finish my own work at my desk from home. Argh!  I am sure none of you are distracted by electronics right? *wink, wink* 😉😉 👿👼                                A dinner plate sized burger bigger tha...
