Fish Nuggets & Hush Puppies

I love discovering new recipes online.  I hardly use cookbooks (but I pin plenty of recipes on Pinterest ). I'm always trying new recipes and I've decided to try to post more of our family's favorites on my blog this year! Tonight I made delicious fish nuggets and hush puppies!  Hubby said they taste exactly like Long John Silver's.  I'd like to think they taste even better.  They were a big hit!! I made both nuggets and hush puppies at the same time, frying them together in batches in the oil. Fish Nuggets Ingredients 3-4 fish fillets, I used swai fillets 3/4 cup flour 2 Tbsp. cornstarch 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 3/4 cup water enough oil to fill a large skillet about 1 inch deep Instructions Cut fish into 2-inch pieces. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Add water and stir until just combined. Heat oil to between

Review: Homeschool Planet

We have been off from school since before Thanksgiving when our school year ended.  In that time, we celebrated both the kids' birthdays, two major holidays, bought a house and moved!  It's been a bit hectic to say the least.  Now that we're getting settled at our new place, I’ve been spending some time working out our lesson plan for the coming school year: slotting in spelling lists and math assignments, divvying up science units and lining up books to read for both personal reading time and family read-aloud time.  And I’ve got JUST the tool to help me do it! Homeschool Planet everything you need to organize your home and homeschool in an easy-to-use online planner Honestly, I don’t have time to learn new software at this point in my life.  And it’s not because I’m slow on the uptake when it comes to technology!  I’m pretty savvy!  But time is a precious commodity for a homeschool mama.  That’s the thing I’ve loved the most about Homeschool Planet;
