Hello and welcome back to my blog! Todays blog is going to be….My top five favorite foods!!! Just to note, I love all types of food and will eat basically anything edible, but these foods are just above the rest.

1.Fettuccini alfredo

I LOVE fettuccini alfredo. I like pasta in general, but this is by far the best. I like it homemade or at a restaurant (preferably Olive Garden).

2.  Cheesecake

I have this every year for my birthday. I don’t like store-bought cheesecake, only homemade. My favorite would probably be lemon cheesecake. I don’t know why i like it so much, but its just really good.

3. Brownies

I used to hate brownies, but now i absolutely love them. I will eat them all day if i could. The best are the two bite brownies with the frosting on the top.

4. Pizza

I love pizza. I mean, who doesn’t? I will eat any pizza. The only pizza i will not eat under any circumstances is pierogi pizza. I cant eat that for the life of me.

5.Tea biscuits

These are so easy to make and so goooood! I will eat like 5 of them in one sitting, if i don’t get sick first. They are the best right out of the oven, that way they are still warm and the butter melts.

Hi everyone!! Welcome back to my blog. This weeks post is going to be the five places i want to visit. I want to travel the world one day and want to see everything. I am going to tell you the top five places i really really want to visit even though i want to see way more then just five.

1. Australia

I love Australia! I really want to see the pink lake (i cant remember what its called). I also want to see the opera house in Sydney and look at kangaroos!

2.  Iceland

I always found Iceland really cool. I am Icelandic and it would be really cool to see where my ancestors used to live. There is also a beach that has black sand that i really want to see.

3.  France

I went through a Paris faze. I was obsessed with it! Not so much anymore, but I am still wanting to see the Eiffel tower and eat at a fancy French restaurant.

4.  New York

This isn’t really a place that I would kill to get there. I do want to see the building that Friends was filmed at ( I LOVE Friends its one of my favorite shows).  But I still want to see the rest of the city. I would love to stay in a really expensive hotel, but that might be a little to much money. It’s nice to dream!

5. Hawaii

I’ve always liked Hawaii. I love everything about it. I want to specifically go to Maui. I don’t know why i want to go to that specific island, but it has always intrigued me.

I want to go to a lot of other places, but this is the starting point of my big adventures. If you liked this blog and want to see more places to travel to (after the pandemic of course) click the link below.

Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog! This weeks blog is going to be about mental health and way to make it better. Note: Everything i share here is of my own opinion, but I will include links to actual facts from doctors and from people who have a degree for helping those struggling with mental health.

I know this pandemic has really taken a toll on every ones mental health. Even if you don’t think it has, it probably has done some damage. I think a good way to keep up good mental health is making time for yourself. Take five minutes to breathe and de-stress. Make an at home spa-day or yourself. Do something that you enjoy or that makes you feel good.

Another good way is making a distraction for yourself. I like to be in control, and i hate that i can’t control all of this. So, i like to do something that i can control, even if its only for a couple of minutes. Cleaning is one of them. It makes me feel in control of the things that are happening. As i mentioned before, reading is another good distraction.

Make sure you are talking to people, too. Text your friends, call your grandparents, hug your parents. If you have something on your mind and its having a negative effect on you, make sure you tell someone what it is that’s bothering you. It helps more then you think it does. Closing off and not talking to anyone about your problems just makes it worse, for you and the people who want to help. And if you don’t feel comfortable talking about it, write it down or talk to a pet about it.  that also helps.

I learnt the hard way that what you watch and see takes a toll on your mental health. If you are watching something sad or unhappy, you might start to feel like that. If you know you are feeling upset, maybe try watching something funny or uplifting. Me, personally, i like to watch Friends. You might have a different show that you like.

There are many things that can help you and your mental health. Again, please note that I am not a doctor and the tings i shared with you are purely my opinion. If you want real facts, click the links below for more.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my blog. This weeks post is going to be a zucchini brownie recipe. Yes, there is zucchini in the brownies and yes they are very good. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

•  1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups of white sugar
• 2 tsp of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder ( it doesn’t have to be unsweetened, but you can use it anyways)
• 1 1/2  tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp of salt
• 2 cups of shredded zucchini ( I will give you tips for doing this)
• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts ( optional)

Frosting: ( you don’t have to do this but the brownies might be a bit dry if you chose not to. There are other recipes that will give you a more moist brownie with no frosting)

• 6 tbsps. of cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup of margarine ( Or butter)
• 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

Directions:

1.  preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flower 9×13 inch  pan
2.  in a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and vanilla until well blended.  combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt then stir the sugar into the mixture. fold in zucchini and walnuts. Spread evenly in the pan.
3.  bake for 25-30 minutes or until the brownies spring back when gently touched.
4.  make the frosting while the brownies cool. melt together cocoa powder and margarine; set aside to cool
5. blend together confectioner’s sugar, milk and vanilla. then, stir in the cocoa mixture. spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.

Tips:

• If you don’t have a fruit shredder, you can use a cheese grater for shredding your zucchini.
• If you want to use something other then walnuts, you can put in chocolate chips.
• Instead of using milk, if you are lactose intolerant, you can use any other milk substitute ( coconut, rice, soy etc.) Though it might taste slightly different.

Hi guys!!! Welcome back to my blog. so, this weeks post is going to be about my first week back at school. just a recap, my class was in remote learning for 2 weeks, as were the rest of the 7-12 kids in the province. This was my first week back to actual school, and if you read my last post, you would know what i liked and disliked about it. so here we go!!

So, on Monday we came back to school. the weather was really cold and we couldn’t even go outside, which was fine because i wouldn’t want to go outside anyways. we couldn’t go into the other classrooms like we used to do, so me and my friends, Ava and Athena, just talked and filled each other in on the last month.

Tuesday, we had a normal school day. we had to stay inside again because of the cold Manitoba weather. We watched a movie with no sound as well. It was funny because Athena was doing the commentary even though she didn’t actually no all the words!

Wednesday, Ava and Athena both were gone. I was all alone! It was ok. the only day that we actually go outside was the day that they were both gone! I built a snowman, though. two of them. The grade 5-6s destroyed them though, but it was funny to watch them destroy it!

Thursday we did the same things as every day. Ava was back. Athena was still gone. we didn’t go outside again, but that was fine because we watched a movie with the sound this time!

And today, Friday. so usually on Fridays we have our math quiz and the rest of the day is just a get it done catch up time. And blogging. we went outside today! It was kinda cold, but not as cold as the past 5 days.

Overall, i am soososososo happy to be back to school. I get to see my friends and get live lessons in person. The only thing i’m going to have to get used to is getting up in the mornings! Thank you for tuning in to my blog! If you want more awesome blogs, click the link below!

Hey everyone! this week im going to talk about online learning and the pros and cons about it.  this is our last day of online school so i am going to talk bout how it has been and stuff like that. Hope you enjoy!

For 2 weeks after winter break, Manitoba’s students through 7-12 had to do online learing. It has been ok. At first i was kinda stressed out because i had no clue what to excpect. I overthink things a lot so that was also part of it. After a few days, it got way easeir and i was less stressed. I like in-person school better then online just because you get more help and if you have a question you get it answered right away. you also dont jave to worry about tech issues and slow internet either.

But there were some pros to online learing. I could sleep in an extra hour and i could stay in my pyjama pants. I also liked that i was in the comfort of my home and could have snacks whenever i was hungry. I also liked how between breaks i could see my family and talk to them for a bit until i had to go back to school. i didnt have to rush to get ready for school either, so mthat was nice. I refused to put on makeup either so that was nice not stabbing my eye with my mascara wand!           

I cant wait to go back to regular school even though it was nice to be comfy in my home and learn. thats it for this weeks blog post. I hope you liked it. If you want more awesome blogs to look at, click the links below!

Hi and welcome back. Merry Christmas and Happy New year! I hope everyone stayed safe this holiday season and was not bored out o their mind! Anyways, i am going to tell you some of the things that i did while i was on Christmas break.

For Christmas, since we couldn’t get together with our family, we just called them to say Merry Christmas and thank you for the gifts. We had a dinner which consisted of a 17 pound turkey (we were eating it for the rest of the week) as well as stuffing, potato’s and peas. My parents had to go to work on Tuesday so i was home alone for the rest of the week until Thursday, which was New Year’s Eve.

On New Year’s Eve, we would normally have my brother over to stay the night, but since we can’t do that, we just did everything by ourselves. We went hot tubbing, played wii, and then watched the last 20 minutes of the countdown. We don’t make a real supper, we just make a snack tray with veggies and chips and dip and cheese and crackers and a shrimp ring. It was really fun!

The rest of my break was ok. I was bored and needed up reading or watching Netflix for the majority of the time. I went skating too. Our skating rink is finished and i had to teach my siblings how to skate. My sister just likes to one pulled around! We also have a huge snow hill so we were sledding down that as well.

Well, that is it for my exciting life. I hope you guys had a good break, better then mine! If you want more things to read, check out these links below!
