A New Blog for YOU

As a companion to this blog, I've started www.aplaceofsaving.blogspot.com for those of you interested in money-saving tips. I am by no means an expert, so I will need lots of input for this one. I just thought if anyone comes across a great deal locally, they can share it with me either via e-mail or comment on the blog and I can get the word out. I'm slowly learning about couponing and this week went to the store and saved $30.00 using coupons, but I know some women do much better than that. Some even have money given back to them I've heard. So if you have any tips you can share that would enlighten the rest of us, please do so!

Recipe

The Young Women attended a Sleepover at Sister Shaw's house last weekend (And thanks for sending my young woman home crabby, by the way-they were up until 5:00 a.m.)...anyway, I sent a recipe with Svetlana that the girls enjoyed so I thought I would share it here, REALLY SIMPLE DIP

1- 8 oz. pkg. 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1/4 cup pesto (I used the premade kind purchased in a small jar by the spaghetti)
1/4 cup Italian Cheese Blend
1/4 cup fresh diced tomatoes

Put the cream cheese in a small baking dish, spread with the pesto, then sprinkle with cheese and diced tomatoes, season with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese melts. Serve with crackers-the best to use are Triscuits Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil.

A Few Reminders

Set your clocks forward 1 hour for Sunday morning. We are also having Ward Conference Sunday.

If you are planning on attending the Relief Society Spring Break, don't forget to bring an item or items to donate for the Humanitarian Project to be sent to our troops. (See previous post for list of items needed).

Don't Forget

This weekend is the Relief Society Spring Break "Love is Spoken Here". And Sister Allred will be speaking to us Saturday morning at 9:30, and we have been asked to please wear a dress/skirt if possible.

Ronald McDonald House

Don't forget: If you signed up to bring a food item, or serve at the Ronald McDonald house, it is Thursday March 4th. Sarah Rone is collecting the food and needs it brought to her house no later than 5:45 Thursday. You can also bring it directly to the Ronald McDonald house across Primrose from Cox South Hospital. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Rone. Thanks for your service!
