Last month, I shared that I am a part of the Quarto Steam Club. I receive 5 books and one toy foused on STEAM subjects bi-monthly so that I can share with you my honest review of the items and encourage you to sign up for the FREE online STEAM community where you can receive free STEAM activity downloads, videos, and more.

Of course, you can also buy any of these products that you see below as well as other STEAM products on Quarto’s website.

The book I enjoyed the most in August’s delivery was a book entitled Kitchen Science Lab for Kids Edible Edition. I thought as this was a Tasty Tuesday’s post, you might be interested in it as well.

Kitchen Science Lab for Kids Edible Edition -- Quarto STEAM Club Pick for August

This book includes 52 mouth-watering recipes and the everyday science that makes them taste amazing. Since I like to cook and bake, and I want my kids to be able to cook for themselves, this book shares recipes kids can make plus the reason why the food turns out how it does.

There are recipes for different beverages such as Razzle-Dazzle Root Beer and Sunset Lemonade. Next the book has snack recipes. I want to try the Pretzel Bread Sticks Recipe. We love Pretzel Bread! There is a section of cheese recipes. My kids would have fun making Stretchy Mozzarella. (Who wouldn’t?) There’s a dips, dressing, and sauces section that looks interesting. Then there are recipes for pizza dough, souffles, spring rolls, crepes, meatballs, a layer cake, and more.

Each recipe has information such as the challenge level, allergen alerts, and a section called “The Science Behind the Food.” I also liked that the pictures are of kids making the recipes.

If you have budding chef in your family, consider buying him or her this book for Christmas or for a birthday. It will help them develop their love for cooking plus encourage their growth in science!

The other items that are included in this month’s features are the following:

Unofficial Minecraft Life Hacks Lab for Kids
The Book of Space Rockets
The Rocking Book of Rocks
Forest Club
Spy School: Sneaky Surveillance

What a busy summer!

After getting back from vacation, I immediately started getting ready for our church’s VBS. I am the director of the program, so the preparation part of VBS is my biggest job. We had our VBS last week — and it went well!

Two of our nieces stayed with us for two weeks. They are great girls, and we are sad to see them leave today. We have spent the last two weeks trying to pack our days full of fun memories.

I am also teaching at our little one room schoolhouse this year, so I am trying to clean up 10 years of stuff and get all the curriculum ready. Plus, I still have to exercise my arm daily as well as go to therapy for my rotator cuff surgery.

Because of all of these important life tasks, I have not made any new recipes or taken any pictures of recipes. So instead, I am going to share some of your recipes over the next few weeks. This week, I am going to share a round-up of summer cold desserts; next week, I will share all the favorite recipes from July; the following week, I will share some favorite cold salads, and on the third week of August, I’ll share some back to school lunchbox recipes.

Since I live in Florida, I am always looking for cold desserts. We have summer year around. These desserts that have been linked up to our parties the past few weeks look delicious!

20 Cold Desserts Perfect for Hot Days

Here are 20 cold desserts that are perfect for those hot days.

Tasty Tuesdays: Soft Chocolate Frosting

July 23, 2019 By Tammy Doiel 1 Comment

A couple of weeks ago, I shared one of our favorite recipes, Chocolate Zucchini Cake.

Often, I will frost this cake with a Cream Cheese frosting, but if I am in the chocolate mood, I have a perfect chocolate frosting! It is prepared in a saucepan, and will spread very easily over the cake while it is still warm. The frosting looks perfect, and it tastes delicious!

Of course, this frosting can be used with many cakes besides Chocolate Zucchini Cake. Give it a try and see how you like it!

Here's an easy, soft chocolate frosting recipe!

Here’s how to make Soft Chocolate Frosting.

Combine 1¹/₄ cups sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, a dash of salt, 1¹/₂ cups milk, and 2 or 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Stir until the butter melts and frosting is smooth.
Spread the frosting on the cake while it is still warm.

Easy, right? If you like chocolate, you’ll like this Soft Chocolate Frosting recipe.

Last night, I went over to Amazon to look at the Amazon Prime deals going on for Amazon Prime Days.

I went specifically to look for school items I buy for the classroom every year such as disinfecting wipes, Post-it flags, and dry erase markers. I did find those, but I also saw many great kitchen deals. And since today is the last day to get these deals, I thought I would share my finds with you! Now remember, the prices will be different than what is shown below if you have a Prime membership. You would have to click over to Amazon and be logged into your prime account to see the real price. Then on Wednesday, the deals are over, and the price goes up!

Here are some kitchen items I was interested in:

I want to eventually change out my plastic storage dishes for glass dishes, so I liked the following prime deals:
I want to eat healthier, and so I bought this Rubbermaid Freshworks Produce Saver Food Storage Container that is supposed to keep your fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer.

Here are some other great kitchen deals that I did not need at this time, but the prices are phenomenal! Some of them are over half off!

Here are some fun kitchen items that are on deep discount of Amazon Prime days.

Ninja Professional 72oz Countertop Blender with 1000-Watt Base and Total Crushing Technology — awesome deal!
Rubbermaid Commercial Products Stainless Steel Instant Read Oven/Grill/Smoker Monitoring Thermometer — my prime said I would also save an additional 20% off at checkout.
If you want a steamer basket for your instant cooker, than snatch up this deal. (Hatrigo Steamer Basket for Pressure Cooker Accessories 6qt) The 3 quart and the 8 quart baskets are also on a deep discount.
If you’re into smoothies and are on the go all the time, than this personal smoothie blender is for you! (Personal Smoothie Blender,DOUHE Cordless Portable Blender Rechargeable USB Juicer Mixer Mini Blender Small Blender)
Some of my friends love their French Press Coffee Makers, but since I am not into coffee, I am not getting one. But if you want one, check out this deal: Veken French Press Coffee Maker (8 cups, 34 oz)
If you have a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, and you would like to grind your own meat, then buy the food grinder attachment now.
Need some steak knives? These have 20 reviews and all of them are 5 star reviews. They are 80% off right now.
I didn’t even know a cool gadget like this existed. It is a handheld mini heat bag sealer so that you can easily reseal open bags of chips or candy bars. (KARIDGE Mini Handheld Heat Bag Sealer for Airtight Food Storage Saver) There’s a coupon for an additional 5% off too.
If you have an Instant Pot, but not all the accessories, then here’s a 13 piece set that is 40% off.
Here’s a heavy duty, commercial style cooling rack that is marked down for prime day.
I want these!!! I use mason jars all the time, so I could use these plastic lids. I’m going to put them on my Christmas wish list. They are marked down some right now.
This Pan Organizer Rack with 3 DIY Methods is pretty cool. I wonder if it would fit in my cabinet?
Have you used a Nonstick Oven Liner for Bottom of Electric, Gas, Toaster & Microwave Ovens? I am so tempted to buy this, but I know I would have to put it on my bottom rack of my electric oven, and I use the rack a lot so I don’t know if I should. I hate cleaning my oven!

This Chocolate Zucchini Cake is amazing! Rich, chocolatey goodness abounds in this easy-to-make cake.

It also includes 2 cups of zucchini, so you can pride yourself on having a vegetable when you eat this cake. Once the cake bakes, you would never know there is any zucchini in it!

I used to make this cake in the summer as I would grow zucchini my garden. Since moving to Florida with our sand soil and our hot weather, I haven’t grown my garden, so I haven’t made this cake. It’s a great cake though especially paired with a soft chocolate frosting or a cream cheese frosting.

Tasty Tuesdays: Easy Meals to Make with One Hand

June 18, 2019 By Tammy Doiel 1 Comment

Many of you know I was rear-ended back in January which caused a torn tendon in my shoulder, which ended up with me having a rotator cuff surgery five weeks ago.

Therefore, the need to be able to make meals with one hand.

I am so thankful that I had about 3 weeks of meals given to me by my wonderful church. But even that fourth week, I couldn’t do that much with my left arm still. This week I am able to finally not wear my sling all the time, which frees me up to be able to do more.

Here are some of the meals I made with one hand:

Rice Pilaf with Chicken — My kids loved this meal. I had a couple of boxes of Rice Pilaf from Aldi, but Rice A Roni has a rice mix that is similar. I already had some cooked, cubed chicken in my freezer. I added it to the rice, and my main meal was done!

Easy meal that can be made with one hand. I made it after my rotator cuff surgery. If you have a broken arm or only one arm's mobility, make this dish or other one arm dishes on this post.

I also made this Ham Noodle Casserole. I again had some diced ham in the freezer, and I had one of my daughters dice up the cheese. Even if you have no help, it would probably be a meal you can do with one hand if you had some ham prepped ahead of time like I did.

One of our favorite casseroles growing up! Only 6 ingredients and so easy to make! Use up that leftover ham!

This Easy Rice, Tuna Fish, and Egg Dish is so easy!! Hard boil some eggs, cook up some rice, and open a couple of tuna — in oil — and you have yourself a main dish!

An easy quick meal of 4 ingredients: rice, tuna in oil, hard-boiled eggs, and soy sauce. My kids love this meal!

This Easy 5-Ingredient Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe can also be done with one hand!

This is my favorite crockpot meatloaf recipe. It is easy to put together as it only has 5 ingredients, and our whole family loves it!

Our family loves Mostaccioli Alfredo. We actually haven’t made it since my surgery, but I had bought canned chicken and the ingredients so that we could make it. As long as there is prepped chicken, the rest of the meal can be done with one hand.

With the help of my older girls, all the meals from our church, and the meals I had in my freezer, we certainly have not gone hungry. However, it was nice to know that I could still cook a few meals with one hand!

The book I enjoyed the most in August’s delivery was a book entitled Kitchen Science Lab for Kids Edible Edition. I thought as this was a Tasty Tuesday’s post, you might be interested in it as well.

If you have budding chef in your family, consider buying him or her this book for Christmas or for a birthday. It will help them develop their love for cooking plus encourage their growth in science!
