September Activity

Hello everyone!
The September activity is on the 19th at the church from 2-4pm. Because there is a home football game that night at 5pm, we will only be doing three different recipes to hopefully finish quickly so you can all enjoy your evenings, (although you can do more than one of any of them). Just reply by email or post with your order. Thanks everyone!


1. 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.

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

What you need to bring:
• 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
• 2 gallon Ziploc bags (put meat in one bag and bring the extra)

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

What you need to bring:
• 3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
• 9x13 dish
