My Ward's Cooking Group

My ward is... different. Or rather I am different. Remember the song from Sesame Street, one of these things is not like the others? I am that one thing. While 55% of my ward is children under the age of 6, 40% of the ward is their parents. Young, married, in the military, 2-4 children. The other 5% are the older generation of our ward, you know, the ones in their 40's whose kids are in youth programs. The upshot is that besides the gospel, we really have very little in common.

Then, this wonderful woman in my ward came up with the idea of having a cooking group once a month for us to get together, eat and exchange recipes! Everyone has food in common. In a stroke of brilliance, they put the recipes on a blog. Each month has a different theme:

• September = Salads
• October = Soups
• November = Thanksgiving Sides
• December = Cookie Exchange
• January = Breakfast
• February = Freezer Meals
• March = Italian
• April = Food Storage Meals
• May = Mexican/South American
• June = Chocolate

So, I'll make delicious food and post the recipes that I do, but I'll also let you know what was especially delicious! You should check it out:

The layout makes me really happy too-- I almost thought about stealing it for this blog...
