Monday Family Home Evening

Yea Candee!! Thanks for sending this week's lesson. I am thankful for Birds and Insects. She sent us a picture of a bumble bee, and black and white copies of the Seagulls eating the crickets from the gospel art kit. She also sent some paper crickets that were folded so they could be picked up by toddlers easier. TJ and M had such fun squishing their crickets as I tried to tell the story of the seagulls eating the crickets. What a wonderful example of Heavenly Father answering prayers.

Yummy Bread Recipe

I love to cook. I am not classically trained, but I am very willing to try new things. We have a running joke around here that many things I make are "refrigerator Velcro." A way of cleaning out the fridge and using up what food I have floating around. (Thanks Alton Brown!) I found this recipe while trying to meet a challenge from a few friends of mine regarding using whole wheat and other grains while baking. I used a 9 grain cracked cereal, which had flax seed in it, and left the flax seeds off the top. What a hit! I made it by hand, cuz I gave the bread machine away long ago.

Enjoy!
