The Tipsy Teacher

The lunch fatigue has set in and the beef and cheese, teriyaki chicken and burrito bowl ain’t cutting it right now. Cut me a break BCPS. Just…. Chicken nuggets……… stop overthinking this.

Here’s what I did. I asked ChatGPT what would be beneficial during my literal phase of my cycle and then also how I can help my ferritin levels come up.

Brown the ground beef. Make th jasmine rice. Squeeze the 3 bell peppers and th onion. Dump black beans and taco seasoning into the ground beef.

Should I get a cooking channel??

Got to play with a today at one of our school events. It was amazing and I had way too much fun 😂

One of our bilingual parents complimented its amazing translations and said it was so easy to understand!

Happy official spring break to my county friends 🌸

Here’s to never getting bored and having a para who wants to try all the things with me for the sake of core memories🎈♥️🌹

▢ 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
▢ 1.25 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
▢ 1 teaspoon salt
▢ 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
▢ 12 ounces fettuccine
▢ 16 ounces cottage cheese blended until smooth
▢ 4 cloves garlic slivered
▢ 1.25 cups parmigiano reggiano shredded, divided
▢ 1/2 cup milk
▢ 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium/high heat. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the salt and pepper. Once the olive oil is hot (running thin in the pan), add the thighs. Cook on one side for 5-6 minutes, then, once browned, flip over and sear for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the thickest portion reaches 165F.
Boil the pasta according to package instructions.
Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, thinly slice the chicken.

Blend (or “whip”) the cottage cheese by placing in a blender or food processor. Blend for 3-5 minutes until smooth and creamy.
To the same skillet the chicken was in, add 2 additional teaspoons olive oil and the slivered garlic. Saute until the garlic starts to brown. Pour in the blended cottage cheese, 1 cup parmesan, and milk. Turn heat to low and whisk until the parmesan has melted. Remove from heat, add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken.
Garnish with additional cracked black pepper, the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan, and fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

THIS WAS THE BEST!

Match this right up with a positive attitude, never really “dressing down” during the school year, and successful observations and pop ins and no one cares about this except for you. So you make a reel to excuse yourself.

Happy day back from break. Now let’s see whose going to wake up these kids 😂

FREEZER FRIENDLY HIGH PROTEIN BREAKFAST MEAL PREP

Teachers I’m lookin at you. This is a good one for everyone. You can also do this with tortillas. I’ve perfected it over the last few months and now I have to share.

Going to try and share more meal prep videos here. They won’t be high quality. My kitchen will not be clean. And my kids will most likely be arguing in the background.

But I’ll meet my protein goal😂

Pa did you know that the female body runs better daily if you eat within the first hour of waking up. I’ll try hard to do that this year…. Maybe. Probably not. But this is a step in the right direction ☠️

Where are my science of reading teachers out there???

I haven’t gone to this training nor do I know too much about it officially but it sounds like how I teacher phonics to littles.

Looking forward to furthering my learning here though. Anyone out there consider themselves knowledgeable enough to podcast about it?
