Well I can't help you decide what is inside. However, I can help with how to prepare it or what the serving size and nutritional facts are of that product.

Silly, Silly People

Silly Silly People

A poem...very appropriate for today.

Silly, Silly People

Noah told the people that the rain was going to fall
Noah told the people they better get on the ball
Noah told the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked He would trod

Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!

Lehi told the people that Jerusalem would fall
Lehi told the people, but all they did was stall
Lehi told the people, to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked he would trod

Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!

Samuel told the people as he stood upon the wall
that Christ would come in five short years and save them from the fall
Samuel told the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God had, had it up to here and the wicked he would trod.

Those Silly Silly People, why were they all so blind?
We certainly, would never be, a people of that kind!

Our prophet tells the people that there's not much time at all
Our prophet tells the people, they better get on the ball
Our prophet tells the people to repent and turn to God
Cause God has had it up to here and the wicked he will trod.

So if we look into our pantry's and find that they are bare
and if our scriptures on the shelf, show not wear or tear.
Could we be silly people? Are we possibly that kind?
That we refuse to hear our God, could we be "Oh So Blind?"

Dinner...it's about Time

Food For Thought!

The Magic Of The Family Meal

 

There is something about shared meals, not a holiday or once-in-a-while meal, but a regular, reliable meal, that anchors a family. Experts say that in the teenage years that this daily investment pays some big dividends.  Families that eat together have children that are less likely to smoke, drink, do drugs, get depressed, develop eating disorders, and consider suicide.  These same children are more likely to do well in school, delay having sex, eat their veggies, learn big words, and have better manners.  These statements are backed up by studies done at Columbia University.

Make dinner an event again.  The tradition of eating together has been getting lost as food has become more about convenience than ritual or tradition.  It’s easy to get lost in the fray of grab-and-go and busy schedules.  Try to take the time, even a few days a week, to sit down together and eat.  Put down the phones, have a conversation, learn what is going on in one another’s lives. You will learn something, feel reconnected, and be closer for it.

Need some conversation starters?

 

1. What is your favorite meal?
2. Where in the world would you like to visit?
3. What language do you wish you could speak?
4. What name would you choose for yourself/
5. Who is your favorite teacher?
6. What is your favorite subject?
7. What good deed did you do today?
8. What is your most prized possession?
9. What is your favorite family activity?
10. Who is your favorite Book Of Mormon Hero?

Whole Wheat bread demo

Ever made a GREAT loaf of whole wheat bread?

It can maybe sound intimidating...whole wheat. It might even bring memories of a brick that you just wanted to throw against the wall. (ok maybe I speak from experience).

Since those days of frustration, I have matured just a little and made several more attempts. I love collecting recipes and tips on how to improve on my bread and how others do it.

I especially enjoy watching short videos of others working their magic in the kitchen.

Give this short video a looksee and see if it's something you just might give a try someday...soon!

This video is brought to you by Chef Tess and Honeyville. You can purchase your ingredients wherever you wish. This just happens to be Honeyville...I have No connection to their products or store.
