Little Miss Crafty Pants: Host a recipe club

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Host a recipe club

In nearly every ward I've lived in we were fortunate to have a recipe club. Some more often then others...but still it always gave me something to look forward to. Food, Friends, Fun...who could ask for more?

1-) Start with a host

2-) Let the host determine the food theme (BBQ, DESSERTS, Salads, Mexican, etc.)

You can get really creative here!

3-) The host will send an invite to guests

Remind guests to bring a copy of he recipe of the dish for each guest...or have a designated "Recipe Collector" who can gather the recipe, type, and distribute recipes.

4-)Usually the host is in charge of any decorations, drinks, and paper products (plates, utensils, cups etc).

Have Fun!!

I think I must have a SERIOUS food addiction because of how excited I am when it comes time to recipe club. I get overly excited to see the different recipes the girls bring. So many times I feel we cook the same things over and over, or use the same ingredients. So this lets me venture out into other food possibilities. Yum!
