Cucumber 🥒 Sushi 🥢 Back to our hybrid schedule at school today. Let’s be honest. I’ve been so anxious over it. School is just not the same. My curriculum and classroom environment have been uprooted. I’ve never been a teacher to sit at my desk. I can’t even see my students smiles under their masks. And let me tell you, those smiles are EVERYTHING. So I’ll be there behind my plexiglass desk and do the best I can. Because that’s what they deserve. The best. Ingredients: • Grab your favorite veggies, condiments, deli meets and cheeses! • Cucumbers Directions: • Use a melon baller or knife to scoop/cut out your middle circle. • Make different cuts to stuff cucumber tightly. • Be creative with colors and textures. Enjoy! #sushi #cucumber #healthyrecipe #vegetables #deats #nutrition #wellness #kidfriendlyfood #recipeshare #myplate #foodie #foodfeed #feedfeed #foodblog #foodstagram #foodpic #foodphoto #eatyourveggies #health #nutriciousanddelicious #eatgoodfeelgood #foodfuel #mytable #easyrecipe #healthysnack #wellandgood #popsugarfitness #snackidea #foodblogger #chicagofoodie

Mamma Amore🇮🇹 My 100% Italian mother raised us to incorporate our heritage and embrace it as much as we can. Mom has always been so proud of her parents, the things they did, their family traditions, etc. all stemming from the “Italian way.” It is so much a part of us today. It means so much to know where you came from and what makes you who you are ❤️ Anginetti Cookies: Ingredients: 4 C. Flour 1 C. Sugar 1/2 C. Milk 2 Eggs 1 T. Baking Powder 3/4 C. Vegetable Oil 1 T. Extract of choice (anise, almond, lemon) Glaze: 3 C. Powdered Sugar 4-5 T. Hot Water 1 T. Extract of choice Instructions: Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar. Make a well in the center and add liquid ingredients: egg, extract, milk, oil. Use wooden spoon to mix until all ingredients are combined. Scoop and round out cookies 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes. Glaze: Combine all ingredients and whisk together. It should be a thick glaze. Dip cooled cookies into glaze layering as many times as desired and decorate as desired. Allow cookies to set on cooling rack. #italy #italian #mom #italianfood #italianrecipe #family #familytraditions #recipes #recipeshare #cookies #deats #cookiesofinstagram #christmascookies #christmas #holidays #bakingspiritsbright #madewithlove #homemade #foodie #foodpic #feedfeedbaking #f52gram #anginetti #cookielover #italianfamily #holidayseason #heritage #foodstagram #foodblog #foodfeed
