April Recap
Our temple picture activity ended up being so much fun! We had a fantastic turn-out and it was great to be able to visit so much while we worked. Each picture ended up being so unique and beautiful. I already have mine hanging up in my home.
I will be getting a list of the products used to make this project so that if you wanted to do some as gifts you can.
Also, to those who were unable to attend (and had ordered pictures), we are going to plan a day in May that you can come and make your picture. I will make sure to keep you posted on that.
Thanks for all of your support! I hope you enjoy having a lovely piece of art in your home that can serve as a reminder of our goal for an eternal family.
Have a happy Easter!

Just a Quick Note
I just wanted to call your attention to the sidebar where there is now a feature where you can enter your email address, and you will receive an email every time there is a new post! That way, you'll never miss a thing!
And by the way, I wanted to say that I have been in absolute awe of our ward over the past little bit. Watching everyone step up and reach out has been truly inspiring. Thanks to you all for your amazing examples of service and sacrifice!

Recipe and Report
So... Better late than never, right??
Our March 10th Relief Society Meeting went very well, thanks to our great demonstrators.
Sis Hilbig showed us that fresh garden salsa doesn't have to be intimidating - and recipe? Who needs it? Throw in peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, salt and carrots?! in the blender and you have a fantastic healthy salsa! If anyone needs or wants a more specific list of ingredients, let us know, and I'll get one posted. Seriously, a very fun demo, and a very yummy salsa.
Sis. Jensen showed us how to use fresh basil in a delish pasta salad. I for one am a total chicken about trying new things (like fresh herbs - I know, I'm HOW old, right?) but this was di-vine!
Avocado Basil Pasta
8 oz. dried bow tie or wagon wheel pasta
2 medium avocados, halved, pitted, and chopped up
6 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
2/3 cup chopped fresh basil
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 Tbs. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup finely shredded pecorino romano cheese
*Cook pasta according to package, drain.
*Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine the avocado, bacon, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add hot pasta and toss to combine. Transfer to serving bowl, sprinkle with cheese. Serves 4.
So good!
We then planted our own basil seeds in a mug to sit in our kitchen window.
Directions:
Fill mug with small rocks until about 1/4 full to allow for drainage.
Put potting soil on rocks until mug is about 3/4 full.
Plant seeds in soil.
Tips:
To speed seed sprouting, presoak seeds in hot water 24 hours before planting.
Plant 3 or 4 seeds per mug, spaced at least 1/2 inch apart.
The seedlings will need light, so place near a south or east facing window. Keep soil semi-moist.
We were so pleased with our great turnout. Thanks to all who attended! We had so much fun!

Schedule Change!!
Sisters, please note that beginning with our March activity, we are changing the dates of the Relief Society Meetings to be the 2nd Thursday of each month. So, Thurs. March 10 is our next activity. Bring a mug to plant in.
Please help us spread the word - get in touch with your visiting teaching sisters, email your friends - we don't want anyone left out of the loop.
We understand that this day may not be ideal for some, and great for others - but due to the need for accommodating a new ward in the building, we feel that this is a necessary change. We appreciate your efforts to come to our activities.
