December Relief Society Meeting Recipes

We have had lots of requests for the recipes from the December Enrichment Night, so I thought I would post them here.

Marvelous Chicken Cassarole
1. Line a 9x13 pan with boneless, skinless chicken breast (you can use tenders and also cubed chicken)
2.Place a slice of cheese on each chicken breast (or cover all chicken with sliced cheese) I use swiss.
3. Mix 1 can of cream of chicken soup with half a can of water and half a can (about 1/2 a cup) of sour cream. Mix well
4. pour HALF the soup mixture over the chicken and cheese. Then shake on HALF a box of stovetop or other quick stuffing mix, on top of the chicken, cheese and soup.
5. Pour remaining soup mixture over the stuffing
6. Top with remaining stuffing. If you have not opened the seasoning packet, do it at this point and shake over the top. If the stuffing is premixed with the seasoning packet, that is fine, too.
Cover and Bake at 350 for 1/2 and hour. Reduce temperature to 325 and bake for 30 more minutes. It will be light and bubbly! YUM

A big THANK YOU to all of you who made our December Relief Society Meeting such a huge success. The dinner was wonderful, the program was amazing.

We are so grateful to each of you who shared your talents with us.

The joy in Service

There is true joy that is found in giving service to one another. A few sisters in our ward gathered Thursday morning at the Johnson home to help paint rooms. We had a great time chatting, painting, laughing, painting and being amongst each other.
Check out Sister Mathie up on that ladder. What a trooper!!

Sister Randall and Sister Andrews painting an upstairs bedroom!

Sister Ashton giving of her talents
Sphen Johnson and Caitlyn Polson. They were great helpers in the painting
Sister Jana Patton, rolling away
Emilie Patton came to help us as well
It was a great way to spend a morning. We love the Johnson family and although we don't want them to move, we are so grateful we were able to help them out!
