Though we have home schooled on and off since we moved into the city, this time it feels more solid- have we put more into it? Perhaps or perhaps not.
We are trying to see everything as a learning experience and a celebration of life. So, in the midst of the back to school rush, we made gluten-free pizza- well a sort of pizza- this is where some learning came in.
By shredding zucchini and salting it then rinsing it and squeezing out the moisture and adding a couple eggs, we made a pizza crust that was then baked.Then we added all the "normal" goodies- veggies, too much cheese- you know the drill. To make mini pizzas, we used slices of a polenta log that we naughtily sautéed in butter before decorating them with our greenhouse goodness.
The tomatoes which are coming faster than ever from the greenhouse, were a main focus and the children have begun to incorporate gardening and food growing information into their daily focus. The pizza gave them that reminder of why we do all that planting and watering and tending.
My son was inspired to add a vote and hope and wish for world peace to our dinner using fresh basil leaves.
