Sloppy Joes and Rainbows

What a miserable day?  Cold and Rainy!  I know it's April and April should bring showers but why is it so cold?  The pool opens in a month.  It's going to take more than a month to warm up.  Hopefully this is the last of the cool weather.  I won't hold my breath.  C'mon Summer. 

Tonight's dinner is homemade Sloppy Joes.  Not my family's favorite but mine.  Yes I love Sloppy Joes.  The sloppier the better.  I have to say this recipe is easy and good.  It's so easy, my husband is actually making it.  Serve it with french fries and a vegetable and dinner is served.

Sloppy Joes

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Tablespoon mustard

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onions.  Keep browning until well browned and no liquid remains.  Add remaining ingredients and simmer 30 minutes.  Serve on hamburger buns.

ENJOY! 


Every month I am responsible for creating the preschool bulletin boards.  This month one of the boards was a Rainbow Hair poem.  The kids love "singing" it over and over.  It was a great way to label colors.  I had my class go a step further and create rainbow names.  I wrote their names on a large sheet of white paper.  They traced the letters with glue and placed 1" squares in the rainbow color order on the letters.  They really turned out cute.
