The Prettiest Chefs Around!

Watch out world!! Not only are they CUTE....they cook fabulously too!! Not to brag, but we've got the best YW around. The young men who date our young women better be top darn notch! FYI girls, we leaders are HAPPY to help screen these boys out for you...

So back to the post, last week we touched on one of my personal FAVS of homemaking....COOKING! Food is so universal - who doesn't love a good meal?? Which is why the girls decided it'd be fun to have a cooking night where we could try some new recipes and polish our kitchen skills. The yw worked together to cook what we enjoyed later as a feast of refreshments: alfredo sauce, basil walnut pesto, marinara sauce, and crispy breadsticks for dipping...all from scratch! We threw in some cooked pasta (so the girls could taste the sauces on the pasta too), a nice tossed salad, and some delicious choc chip cookies for "dessert." *SIGH* What a delight it was to enjoy an evening of cooking, laughing, feasting, and gabbing away. Thanks to all the girls and leaders for always making mutual a joyful learning experience!

Hike to Timp Cave

The YM and YW had the chance to hike up to Mt. Timponogas Cave. Beautiful hike + perfect weather + fun company - mosquitos = couldn't have been better! Wait...I take that back. We DID miss those of you who weren't able to make it!
