Soup

This has been one of our favorites (thanks Amber). If you like Italian flavors you will love this soup. And it's full of iron for all of you pregnant ladies.

The Mormon Way

We were reading US News today and found this article with Elder M. Russell Ballard. It's pretty interesting, I like how the church came off sounding real.

Puddin

I just wanted to remind everyone about pudding. I was feeling like I needed some chocolate last night after dinner and I found a box of chocolate pudding in the cupboard. Well for $.50 (it may have been a little more, I can't remember) it's a pretty good dessert. That's probably why we had it all the time growing up. You can always make your own from bakers chocolate and real cream and vanilla, yum, or make the powdered kind which takes about 30 seconds.
