Reminder!

Don't forget our Apple a Day activity THIS Thursday, October 7th at 7pm!

Hope to see you all there!!!

An Apple A Day sign up sheet!

O.k. I got the sign up sheet(s) back and had to do a little consolidating since I have a few more people signed up on one thing than another (due to multiple sheets being passed out!). So here is the break down:

Candy Choppers: Megan O'Brien & Rosie Morgan (Rosie I moved you to candy, hope that's o.k.!), Ann Nelson, Danielle Henson& Amy Kennedy

Graham Cracker & Oreo Crusher: Tammy Cervantes

Caramel Dip Makers: Hanna Martorell & Cori Player

Chocolate Drizzler: Aina Werner

If any of you see the sticks for going into the apples, please let me know. I'm having a hard time finding them!

Other than that, I have the stuff and will be bringing it on Sunday. If for some reason you won't be there, let me know so I can get it to you.

Thanks everyone!

An Apple a Day--Maintaining Spiritual Health

We have our next activity scheduled!

When: October 7, 2010
Where: Cultural Hall
Time: 7-8:30pm
What: Getting motivated to stay spiritually fit.
Treat: Caramel Apples!!!!

Mark your calendars and invite a friend :)

Hmm

Alright. After much thought and research, we are going to revamp our next activity. It was getting little too complicated and more like just a taste tester thing with no really spiritual value which is really what we should be leaning towards with these activities. Also, originally the purpose was to show how to "hide" veggies in commonly liked foods for those with picky eaters. Then I came across this:

http://whatscookingblog.com/2007/12/03/does-deception-belong-at-the-dinner-table/

And I agree that the only way to teach good eating habits to our kids (and ourselves) is to show the food in their true form and dress them up in various ways with sauces and spices. Basically Experiment!

So here's another idea.

I want to call it "An Apple a Day--how to feed yourself spiritually"

We'll focus on getting spiritually healthy.

We'll discuss how to do a spiritual check-up and maintain the soul as well.

Then make caramel apples...because 1) we can, 2) they are delicious, and 3) they would symbolize the great inner core you have that you can only make better with piling on the scripture reading, temple attending......yeah I'm stretching but caramel apples sound really good right now.

Thoughts? Added twists to amp up the fun?

Votes are in and Schedule Change

Votes have been tallied (not many but whatever) and we will be doing the "Deceptive Cooking" as our next activity.

HOWEVER...

We will not be doing it in August :( With family in town, a trip to Lake Powell and the State Fair, I've postponed it to September!

Keep checking back for the exact date!

Also notice a change in scheduling for future dates. We did a little shifting!

Volunteers

From the way the vote (see side bar) is going, I think our first mini activity will be the Deceptive Cooking.

SO!

I'm going to need at least 3 volunteers: One person to be in charge of one recipe. We will have a total of 3 recipes and they will be easy peasy. Trust me. And if you have someone you want to recruit to help you, then great! Please do!

Basically you'll demonstrate how it's done at the activity and then let the ladies have at it.

Also, don't worry, we'll not only give you the recipe but ALSO the stuff to make it.

If you're interested in sharing of your time and talent for this activity, let me know! We can't do it without some awesome volunteers.

ps. bonus is if you're a volunteer, you'll be there first and get first tastings of everything!!!!!! lucky lucky you! Oh and many many blessings for making my life easier :)

***EDIT (6/19/10): We can have more than one person "man" a recipe table so don't hold back even if we get three volunteers!

Success!!!

Thanks to all the ladies who came out to the Pioneer Peak Relief Society Fashion Swap!We had a great turn out and great finds! Oh and yummy treats to sustain us as we browsed.
Hope you all are enjoying your cleaned up closets and new treasures...
