So just a quick review
What: Relief Society "All you need is love" Activity
Time: 10 am -2 pm
A potato bar lunch will be served
Classes
1. freezer cooking : come learn how to put together a months worth of meals and prep your food ahead of time, with just little effort. We will be making a lasagna that day for you to take home. If you wish to make a lasagna to take home the cost will be between 5 and 7 $ We will have cost and sign up sheet go around on sunday.
2. Candy making- we will learn about making and dipping candies--yum
3. Bread in a bag- this cute demo will show you how to make bread dough in a bag. (ziploc) a great and fun thing to do with kids or grandkids or to do if you don't have a big mixer etc. This is fun to do camping as well. We will show you how to do it and if you want to make some as well we will have a sign up sheet for that on sunday as well. There will be a small cost for this if you want to make it to cover the flour and yeast etc.
4. Cute gift box/containers that you can use for any occasion. We will be making some for Valentines day. A sign up sheet will come around sunday for this as well.

We are working on child care and will post more information on that later.
We can't WAIT to get together and socialize, learn and play together!

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.
