I was sharing with my sister the other day on the phone about how my kids enjoy a simple recipe I found on Clara’s site called Pasta with Peas. It is so simple!! I knew the kids would eat it, because they are really good at trying new things that I make, but I didn’t know it would end up being one of their favorites.
When I tell them we are having Pasta with Peas, they get all excited and cannot wait for it to be done. Go figure!! My husband enjoys it too, so that makes it one of our regular, quick recipes.
We have also enjoyed her tradition of having sugar for Sunday breakfast. The kids like this. Clara had sugar cookies, and we have her sugar cookies now and then, but we have extended this to enjoying sticky buns or scones of different types. The kids and I then enjoy these with a cup of tea.
Here is the video of her cooking Pasta with Peas. You can see more on her YouTube Channel.

She even has a book out now!!
I think Clara’s Book and DVD will go great with any Great Depression Unit Study. I have listed [...More]

For our tea time yesterday, I found a recipe in my binder that I used a few years back for cucumber sandwiches. The kids liked them then, and I thought it would be out of the ‘norm’. So, I made them. They came out yummy!!

Today, we made rice crispy treats to go with our Tuesday Tea. The kids did most of the work while I supervised. I did stir in the rice crispies because they were too interested in tasting the melted marshmallows. I gave them each a small spoon dipped into the melted marshmallows, so while they tasted, I stirred in the rice crispy cereal.

Today the kids and I participated in our first Tea on Tuesday hosted by My Little Wonders.
Tea time is something we do every so often, but I would like to add it weekly as something to look forward to.
We have used tea parties in our family for a while. When MaryEllen was potty trained, we had a tea party to celebrate. We whipped up some shortbread cookies and something else I cannot seem to remember, but I know it was a fun time. The whole family participated. Ahh! Memories!!
