Catch & Do

This is a great game to learn names, get kids moving, and have a lot fun. It's also simple to do. Just buy a small ball. (I got one with a picture of a dog on it, but you can always get a plain one.) Write several tasks on the ball:

Throw Under Your Leg
Sing
Wicked Laugh
Roll the Ball
Close Your Eyes
Stand on One Leg

First, pick someone to start the game. This person will say his/her name and read the task on the ball. If it says, "Close Your Eyes", the person will close his/her eyes and throw the ball to someone. If no one catches the ball, it goes to the person closest to it.

Because the ball I purchased has a dog on it, if the ball lands with the dog face up, the person has to make an animal sound. Fun, right?

This is a great game for introducing a new group of kids and breaking the ice. Plus it is pretty funny to watch!

Biscuit Short-Cake

Ingredients

 

1/4 cup sugar

2 1/3 cups Bisquik Gluten Free mix

3 tablespoons canola oil

3/4 cup lactose free milk

3 eggs, beaten

1/2 tsp vanilla

diced canned peaches



Ok, so I just discovered I have Crohn's disease. That's some seriously bad news for a sweet tooth junkie like me. I didn't have anything sweet in my pantry, so here's what I scrounged up.

And when I mean scrounged, I mean dug through all the corners, nooks, and crannies. This isn't the best recipe, nor is it the sweetest, but it's the best I could do given the circumstances. :)

So, first I mixed all the ingreidents in a bowl, then greased up a cookie sheet, and added spoonfuls of batter onto the sheet just like I would chocolate chip cookies (Did someone say chocolate and cookies?).

I cooked them for 425 degrees for 10 minutes and let them cool a little.

Then I added some peaches and a drizzle of honey on top.
