TOMATO CUCUMBER ONION SALAD-
DORM COOKING-
College Campus
If you are a college student who needs to take something to a potluck dinner, you might find yourself with lots of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers in early fall. Don’t let all that tasty produce go to waste! Make a simple and yummy salad. It’s quick to prepare, and if family members send you back to school with garden-fresh veggies, it’s a budget-friendly option too.
To make this salad, start with your tomatoes—either freshly picked from the garden or cherry tomatoes from the store. It’s super easy. The recipe is for one person, so you can easily make it for just a few or a big group. For each person, use about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. A simple trick is to put them on a plate, put another plate on top, press down gently so they stay in place, and then carefully slice through the gap with a sharp knife—like a bread knife. Voila! The tomatoes are halved in seconds. If you’re using bigger tomatoes, just chop them into small pieces.
Toss the cut tomatoes and their juice into a medium-sized bowl and add the other ingredients that you will find in the recipe in the full article.
This salad pairs really well with sandwiches that are heavier on bread, especially since it’s light in carbs. It goes nicely with beef, chicken, pork, or cheese sandwiches.
SQUIRMING AND FIDGETS WITH ADHD-
Education K-12
Some teachers think that kids who fidget or move around are lazy, bored, or not paying attention. But they need to learn more about ADD! Kids with ADD aren’t lazy or uninterested. They’re actually doing what their brains need to do to learn. Let them move!
Kids move around more when they have tough school work to do. Hard tasks make their brains work hard. In this study, there were 62 boys—32 of them had ADD and the rest didn’t.
The researchers watched what each boy did during different activities. When they watched a simple video, the boys with ADD sat still. But when they worked on math or other hard school tasks, they moved around. This isn’t because they’re bored. It’s because their brains are busy trying to understand the work.
Moving around during difficult tasks is their way of helping themselves learn.
Teach them how to move without affecting the learning in the classroom. This article contains easy and inexpensive ways to work movement in, so that kids with ADHD get the movement that they need to facilitate their learning.
