Family is Central

"The family is the primary support structure in God’s plan to help us resist evil, overcome weakness, and work out our salvation. For this reason we should do all we can to strengthen the family in these days of confusion and opposition." Ensign, Dec 2004, 50–51

Improving family relationships is vital to strengthening the family. You are invited to attend a special evening with the Heritage Ward Relief Society on Thursday, September 23rd at the LWSC.  Dinner will be served at 6:30pm.  After dinner, guest speakers President Richard Low and his wife, Sister Gayle Low, will be giving us information on improving our family relationships.  Light refreshments will follow.

Please be sure to let your visiting teaching sisters know about this special event, and feel free to invite a friend or neighbor.

Stove-top in your Crock-pot!

Here is a little more information on using your stove-top or oven recipes in your crock-pot.

Crock-pot cooking is ONE STEP cooking. Many steps in your stove-top or oven recipe may be deleted. Simply add ingredients to the crock-pot at one time and cook usually 5-6 hours on high, or 8-10 hours on low.

Because little moisture evaporates during slow cooking, reduce amount of liquid in your recipe by one-half. For soup recipes, add all ingredients except water or brother to pot; add only enough liquid to cover the ingredients.

Reduce amount of seasoning in proportion with reduced amount of liquid. Use whole or leaf herbs and spices rather than crushed or ground forms.

Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited to slow cooking than expensive cuts of meat. Fatty meats such as pork should be trimmed or browned to remove excess fat before slow cooking.

Because milk, sour or sweet cream break down during long hours of cooking, add these ingredients just before you serve.

To keep vegetables extra moist when roasting on low try wrapping them in foil.
