Luau!

Our Ward Luau was so fun! I can't believe that some of the men killed the pigs and that they were cooked right there at bishop's, and then to top it all off we had authentic food and a performance. Check out these pictures (thanks to Ethney for taking these pictures. If any of you have pictures you want to share email them to me and I will definitely get them posted):

Recipe Box

Michelle Hall has been trying to put together a recipe swap and we have decided that this would be a great way to share our recipes. All you have to do is email me your recipes (fourthwardreliefsocietyblog@yahoo.com) and I will post them on this blog. I will also place them in our recipe box (to the right). I will label them according to what type of dish they are (appetizer, drink, dessert, main dish, etc...). Then all you have to do is either scroll through the postings to find the recipe you like or click on the labels to the left and it will pull up all of those types of dishes.

So let's getting swapping.

I posted a recipe below so that you can see how it works.

Recipe

Mexican Chicken and Rice Casserole

Ingredients:
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can water
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies
1 1/2 c. rice
1 pkg taco seasoning
cilantro and green onions chopped (optional)
frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Spray cooking spray on your 13X9 glass casserole dish. Then whisk the soups, water and taco seasoning in a bowl. Then pour into the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle rice over the mixture. Then place chicken breasts (frozen) over soup and rice. Then pour the beans and tomatoes over the chicken (and the cilantro and green onions, if desired).
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour, 40 min.
Remove foil and sprinkle shredded cheese over and melt.

Number of servings:12....so you could make it and freeze a portion of it or half the recipe.
