Marinated Brocolli
Labels: recipes 2 commentsThe kids and I started our school year yesterday. It will feel good to get back into the groove and routine of school work. Biology, Texas History, Total Language Arts which includes literature, grammar, spelling, writing, and Pre-Algebra plus electives are the line up this year. We are starting the year off easy by reading "My Side of the Mountain" and doing a book study on it. I wanted to start off with a good, fun book to get them into it. We haven't officially started the Math or writing program yet because I just ordered the writing curriculum today and we have to install the Math program on their computers.
I worked 1/2 day in the visitor's center today. It is deserted here in the park so no one really came in the store. We're going to have to leave the park very soon. If Jeff is going to be gone this much, I can't handle getting all the volunteer hours myself while trying to get the homeschooling done and running Alison to and from dance. We barely got our hours last much. As a matter of fact, I don't think we would have made it if Michael wouldn't have worked at the fee booth by himself so much. Well, the fee booth isn't open anymore so that's out and the visitor's center will only be open on weekends. We'll have to start planning our exit after Labor Day weekend I guess.
The kids have gone to swim at the river this evening. They practically have the whole place to themselves....it's amazing.
I have another wonderful recipe to share. I had forgotten about this recipe. I should've been making this to take in our lunches at the stables. This was something my mama used to make and my family loves it! That raw broccoli is so good for you too!
Marinated Broccoli
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 TBSP red bell pepper, minced
3 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
2 TBSP Water
1 TBSP Lemon Juice
1 Large close garlic, minced
1 Tsp salt
1/8 Tsp pepper
Mix oil with vinegar, water, lemon juice, garlic and seasonings. In a large bowl, toss mixture with broccoli. Marinate all day or overnight. (Turn & shake the jar when you think about it)

Your recipe sounds delicious, both of them as a matter of fact. I envy you getting to homeschool, my kids are all grown with kids of their own but I would have taught my kids if I could have. Back in 'those' days it just wasn't done. Now I am a retired teacher and think about all the great things I could have taught them myself. My mother taught me to read before I ever started school, she was a smart lady. I have included a link below that is really great for schooling, I used it before Multiple Sclerosis decided I had to retire to my wheelchair. It is a great learning place and great place to just go and read. Sorry for this long post, I didn't mean to write a book =)

Thank you for the link, Molly! It certainly looks like a lot of useful information there. It might end up helping us through some of our math hurdles when dad isn't around to help. (He's the math brain) We learn together...its hard for me to believe that we started way back with phonics, ABC's and 123's and we are where we are now! Thanks for visiting!
