Baked Oatmeal

We are always looking for a quick easy breakfast for busy mornings when I stumbled on this recipe.  This recipe is really yummy and I love how I can dump everything into a bowl and let it cook without hanging around.  KK really likes his with lots of chocolate chips and I love that most of the sugar comes from the applesauce!  We also add shredded coconut.

Earing & Necklace Holder

We made an earing and necklace holder over Christmas break . We used a piece of extra door trim, decoupaged some paper down the center, and screwed in the hooks. We really like how it turned out. It is both function and decoration!

Church Matching Game

Our ward decided the Sunbeams did not need to be in the whole Primary Program so for the days we have program practice we don't have lessons scheduled but I will also need to entertain the kids when they are not needed.  Soooooo I made a church themed matching game.  I used pictures from the Gospel Art Book and LDS.org to make a short description of each picture.  Before we started playing, I showed each picture and told some important gospel principles about it.  Then we played the game and when they made a match I had them repeat what they remembered about each picture to help reinforce the info.  I will also use it tomorrow as an FHE lesson!  So now I have the pictures all sized and the descriptions typed up and I thought maybe some one else might get some use out of it!  If you want a copy let me know!

Chicken Taco filling recipe

Here is a recipe we REALLY like for taco meat!  It is totally different than a taco seasoning packet and you can use the cheapest of cheap chicken since you boil it and then shred it!

I just use chicken breast, that I boil in  chicken boullion and I use the food processor to make it a crumbly texture.  The recipe makes alot so I freeze some and it makes a quick dinner.  We love it with fresh shredded cabbage!  Love everyone and hope the new school year is going great!
