Week in Review (5/7-5/11)

What a busy week! Sorry for just posting one little recipe this week, but I was BIZ-eeeeee!

Monday I showed you guys some yummy banana baked oatmeal, or as Katie from Chocolate Covered Katie likes to call it-boatmeal. This stuff is so yummy and a delicious way to start any day. I have yet to tried real oatmeal, you know the goopy looking kind, but I for sure love this baked version!

Tuesday I had a soccer game against our school’s rival. They are the one other high school in our town, so it’s a pretty big deal. We had our largest crowd ever, and it was also our team’s last home game of the season. It’s always fun to play our rivals because there’s a couple girls from my travel team on there so it’s pretty major to be able to have bragging rights for the next year. We ended up just beating them 1-0, an awesome way to end our home games for the season! Next week the road for play-offs begins

Wednesday I showed you guys Part One of my prom weekend. It was a weekend that surely did not disappoint, that did not have many moments that weren’t exciting.

Thursday I volunteered at an elementary school nearby and babysat a bunch of kids. I have to say, I had an awesome time. Being the youngest child in my family, I have very little experience with babysitting, but being a swim instructor helps quite a bit. By the end of the night, I had suffered a few battle wounds. Including a large bump and bruise on my hip from a crash in “Duck, Duck, Goose”. Those kids are quick! And FULL OF ENERGY! Seriously, where does it all come from?!

Friday I showed you all Part Two from my prom weekend. It was fun to have a weekend of just straight-up fun, but I’m looking forward to catching up on a bit of sleep this weekend. VERY much needed!

A Baby and Buttery Biscuits

If you happened to have read my last week in review post, you might have caught how on Friday I got my baby for my child development class. It was weird how I became so emotionally connected to a doll. Borderline creepy.

I ended up having to take the baby to my soccer games this weekend. How lucky am I that not only did i have one, but TWO games! Thankfully my mom was able to take care of her for the second game.

You would not believe the looks I got from some people. I feel for teen moms now more than I ever thought I would. Sure, I think that raising a baby as a teen is far from ideal, but I don’t think giving teen moms looks of disapproval will make anything better. It’s not going to change what has happened and it sure will not make things easier. It’s hard enough raising a baby as a teen, criticism just adds to the struggle. Again, I’d like to emphasize the point that I am NOT encouraging teen pregnancies or teen sex or any of things of that matter. This topic is not normally something I would bring up on the blog, but this baby project really hit me hard. The looks that I got were hurtful (from people who did not take a close enough look) and it just kills me to imagine what it would be like for a teen with a real alive baby. As much as I hate to say it, I think the fact that the baby was African American did not help.

Alright, that’s enough of that.

Let’s make biscuits! I have made biscuits in the past, some flavored, some definitely not. This biscuit recipe is my FAVORITE to date! They don’t exactly look “perfect” but that’s just because you don’t have to do the whole rolling and flouring thang. Plus for me! Enjoy these delicious buttery biscuits with jam, butter, or pretty much anything!

Buttery Biscuits

(Makes 6 biscuits)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 stick butter, cold and cubed

1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons (150 ml) milk (I used skim)

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in cold butter, I used my hands. Pour in milk and use hands until fully incorporated, but be sure not to over mix. Mix until just combined.
  3. Drop dough onto cookie sheet and shape as desired. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Enjoy! Perfect with jam or butter.
