Kookin and Kids' books!

Today I have some delicious recipes to share with you that have given me some wonderful leftovers for lunches and dinners during this back to school week! And in the theme of back to school I have some Kids' books to share with you...so much more exciting than textbooks! And cheaper! I have a feeling I may be uploading a lot of books from now on...I would also love to get some recommendations of your favorite children's books to add to my collection! (comment at the bottom of the post, message me, or text me!)

#1 Chicken Stir Fry!
I simply cut off a little more of that rotisserie chicken I used for the enchiladas (that was only $4 and has lasted me all week!). I cleaned and cut up a few of my favorite veggies (that I had around the house): water chestnuts, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and sweet onion. I put the veggies in the pan first with a little water to steam covered and then added some low sodium soy sauce and the chicken. #2 I bought this little $1 pack of rice noodles in ginger thai flavor and cooked using the instructions on the package in the microwave while the stir fry was frying. When everything was done I mixed it all together, added a little chalula spicy sauce and ate 1/3 of it and saved the rest for left overs! mmmm

#3These are some morning oats I had to warm me up using the cinnamon apply spice tea instead of water to cook the oats and mixing it all with ground flaxseed, cinnamon, microwaved apples, agave, and peanut butter for some protein.

#4 Sour Kraut and Family Sausage!
Okay this is a favorite I have actually never made before but it turned out tasty! You need:
Kison family sausage (or your choice of link sausage:) )
Can of sour kraut (wish I had homemade)
1/2 medium sized sweet onion
1 russet potato (from Idaho!!)
Cook the sausage in a evoo greased pan, covered, for about 15 min flipping. Shred the potato on a grater while sausage is cooking and chop onions, and open sour kraut jar (this make actually take a while!). Then cut the sausage in half and push to sides add potatoes to the middle...I added the potatoes before the sausage was done and kept folding the potatoes to make sure all got done...then add onions and as much sour kraut as you want and let cook for about 10 min. Cut the sausage up squeeze a little ketchup on your plate and enjoy a German delight! :) WARNING people may give you funny looks for the smell when you warm up at school the next day...

#5 Sam's Three What Ifs- Such an adorable children's book that I downloaded electronically onto my ipad for $.99 and I LOVE it! Such cute questions by a little boy wondering what to be when he grows up when his parents give him a different kind of answer;) It's more important what you're personality is like...

#6 Amazing Grace- A story my lit professor shared with us today that I just love! A story of a little girl from a nontraditional family who has an interest in ballet and touches on some issues of race and stereotypes. And it's a series so there's more good ones out there!

#7 Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire-A fabulous book about a very inspiring and creative teacher (who's also the author) and a great way to get some ideas/resources! Go rent it!

That's all she wrote tonight, time to start reading some more books! Stay safe out there:)
