July Date

Alright! We have a date and time set! It is Thursday, July 30, 7:30pm-9:30pm. I hope that's not too late, but hopefully it gives some of you a chance to get your kids ready to bed or to bed even. So remember to either post your order here as a comment or email it to me. Orders will be due on the Monday before, which is the 27th that way I can do some shopping on Tuesday. The order post is on July 5 called July Activity. To sisters who are coming for the first time: Check out the listing for April 29 called Information for Newcomers. That will help you be prepared. Thanks everyone for helping make this group a success!

I need a partner in crime... or two!

Ok, I'm thinking that no matter when we're able to schedule this next freezer meal activity, there's a good chance I won't be able to be there. I can do all the preparation beforehand, I just won't be able to go that exact day. Or I'll miss half of it or something. Anyway, I'm looking for probably two interested sisters who could be completely committed to coming, helping, and being in charge the actual day of. Sorry that I don't know when that exact day is yet, but I'm thinking either Thursday July 30 evening, or Saturday August 1 either in morning or afternoon. I'm waiting for feedback right now. If anyone thinks they can be there for sure please let me know asap. You'll have to go about an hour beforehand, set up, then stay until the end and clean up. It's work, but it's worth it. Let me know if anyone can do this and I'll let you know more details! Thanks everyone! If there's three who can do this, that's even better! :D

July Activity

I have the next set of recipes ready. However, I'm still unsure on the date. Forewarning on this month's date. I have just started a new job and a new schedule as a temple worker on Saturday mornings. For this month, we will either have the group on some Saturday from 1-3pm, or on a Thursday night from 7-9pm. If it's on the Thursday, then we have to compete with the basketball guys again and I won't be able to make it so I will need a very committed person or two or three to help with the actual event. As soon as I know I will post it up. For now, you can check out the recipes and be ready to order as soon as I can get the date up here. Thanks for everyone's help and patience.

1. Pineapple Freeze (slushie drink): pineapple juice, orange juice, lemonade, bananas, sugar, water, lemon-lime cool-aid, lemon jello

What you need to bring:
• 1 5-quart ice cream bucket

2. Kababs Marinade: meat, vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, black pepper, garlic, onion, pineapple, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, rice

What you need to bring:
• 2 gallon Ziploc bags (put meat in one bag and bring the extra)
• This recipe doesn’t actually say anything about the meat. Random. You could probably use whatever meat you would grill on a kabob, and by the measurements of the recipe, I’m guessing you would want 1-2 pounds of meat cut into kabob sized chunks. You can bring the meat or add it afterwards. Whichever.

3. Oregano Chicken: chicken breasts, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, chicken bouillon, crushed red pepper, served on sliced tomatoes and rice

What you need to bring:
• 6 Chicken Breasts raw –whole or halves for more manageable servings
• 2 gallon Ziploc bags (put meat in one bag and bring the extra)

4. Pasta Fagoli Soup: ground beef, onion, carrot, celery, tomatoes, kidney beans, beef broth, oregano, pepper, parsley, hot sauce, spaghetti sauce, shell pasta

• 2 gallon Ziploc bags (put meat in one bag and bring the extra)

5. King Ranch Casserole: chicken breast, corn tortilla, bell pepper, onion, chili powder, garlic, salt, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, tomatoes, cheddar cheese
