HELP

Okay Shawna is stressing. Sam came home from an army leadership training that he has been to all week and informed me that we are going to the Army Ball and have been invited to dinner with his commander and second in command who will be over him in Iraq. So the stress part is that I have to find a nice evening gown before March 13th. I really hate shopping so anyone who would like to help come on down. I don't do these fancy things very well.

LORIN'S BAPTISM IS SATURDAY FEBRUARY 27 AT 12:00, IF ANY OF YOU CAN MAKE IT WE ARE HAVING A SMALL LUNCHEON AFTERWARDS. IF YOU COME LET US KNOW AND WE WILL E-MAIL YOU DIRECTIONS. LOVE, THE ZIPPAY'S AND CARRILLO'S

Recipes and more

Wendy please send me your email address. I'm great at accidentally deleting my lists. Love, Vic

I'm having my first ever home party for food storage, it's a new product and no I'm not going to sell. The food is freeze dried and dried and looks and tastess like real live food when rehydrated.
I tried some last night, chicken salad, taco meat etc and wow it's yummy and has a great shelf life.
So if you aren't busy on Feb 24th at 6:30 you are all invited to come and try this out or I can send you some prices. It's called shelf reliance and comes from Sandy Utah, they ship to your home.

Also, here's some recipes some of you wanted....Bon Apetit....Enjoy Love, Vic

Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes
In blender Mix 1 c. milk and 1 cup whole wheat on high for 3 minutes
Add 2 eggs 1/3 c. oil 1 tsp. salt and 1 T. honey and blend for 3 minutes
Add 1 T. baking powder and cook. These keep well in the fridge and are great heated for 30 seconds with nothing on them or with any syrup, jam etc.


Cindy's Peach Salsa
Use food processor and chop fruit and veggies..I like this kind of chunky but it's good smooth also
4 C. peeled peaches
1/2 C. onion
1/2 C. red pepper
1 can green chilies
2 jalapeno peppers
1/4 C. cilantro
3 garlic cloves put in large pan
Add
1and 1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 C. white vinegar
Stir well
Then in a small bowl mix
1/4 C. sugar and 1 box Sure Gel
Add to fruit and stir well, then bring to a boil
Then add 31/2 C. sugar
Boil 1 minute
Remove from heat and stir 5 minutes
Pour into jars and seal
Hot water bath for 25 minutes
It makes 4 pints so I keep on making batches until I have a full canner
I didn't make nearly enough last fall

Red Pepper Jelly..oh my heck this is addicting
12 chopped and seeded red peppers
Put into a large pan and stir in 1 and1/2 T. salt
Let sit for 1 hour
Then add 3 cups sugar
2 cups vinegar
3 T. tapioca
Cook for 2-3 hours or until thick stir often..I cheated and added about a tsp. of Sure gel to speed up the process and it turned out great
Hot water bath for 20 minutes
Makes 6 pints Again, I didn't make nearly enough


Microwave Peanut Brittle- good any time of the year
Mix well
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. Light Karo Syrup
1 C. raw peanuts
1/8 tsp. salt
Then microwave 4 minutes
Stir and then Microwave 5 minutes
Add 1 T. butter and 1 tsp. vanilla
Stir well and Microwave 2 minutes
Add 1 tsp. soda Mix well and pour onto buttered cookie sheet
Don't double
I use two bowls and when one is done I get another going. Two batches will fill 1 cookie sheet
This stores great in a bowl with a lid
You do need to be exact on this recipe or it won't come out as crunchy and yummy



Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancake Basic Mix
These are very healthy, heavy and tasty
The mix will store 6-8 months so I make a huge covered bowl or put it in ziploc bags
4 cups quick cook oatmeal or regular, but blend it first to make it finer
2 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup nonfat dry milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 T cinnamon
2 tsp. salt
5 T. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. soda

Mix well and put in airtight container
To cook
Beat 2 eggs
3 T. oil
1 C. milk and
2 Cups mix
This is really great to have on hand when you're in a hurry and they also keep well in the fridge and can be reheated on 30-40 seconds in the microwave

i am so excited for summer! i can't wait. i was looking through our pictures and stumbled across these one. this was a summer trip to Lake Michigan. we ended up getting there a little late so we had a very relaxing night swim. i want it to be summer right now!!! i'm tired of snow! :( anyways i hope you all have a fabulous week, and are as excited about summer as i am! :D <3<3<3
