30 Copycat Recipes That Are So Spot-on It’ll Blow Your Mind!

I’m sure we’ve all been to a restaurant at one point in our lives and thought, “Dang, I would kill for this recipe!” Yet, in order to get it you either have to become a chef and get hired at the restaurant or develop amazing taste-testing skills, decipher all the ingredients, and spend days in the kitchen trying to create something edible… Now, I’m not trying to discourage anyone here; some people are amazing at creating copycat recipes! My mom is one of these people; I, however, am not. I think I’m getting a little bit better, but I remember I used to hate it when she’d ask me to test her gravy and tell her what else it needed. I was clueless! So, I just want to say thank you to all you amazing copycat-recipe-makers out there who make all of us with inferior taste buds’ dreams come true!

Stop sloppin’ the hogs: Teaching Table Manners to Children (Dan)

He spilled. Something that happens only… every…single…meal. Don’t cry over spilled milk they say. The parent version should be more along the lines of “Don’t go off on a parental tirade over spilled milk.” (I am still working on that one.) It wasn’t the fact that my eldest spilled milk, or food or whatever it was. It was how he so casually morphed into what looked like one of those sucker fish you see in the fish tanks and hoovered up what he had splashed on the table cloth. Almost equally as disappointing was his surprise by my objection to his doing so. Seriously?? Where did I go wrong?

Where Not to Buy Disneyland Tickets (she: Kimberly)

Each year during the busy travel season, we hear stories firsthand from families who bought Disneyland tickets for what they thought was a great deal, but then find out they were scammed. And that is NO fun at all. With that said, I thought it would be good time to warn families about where not to buy Disneyland tickets for their summer vacation – just to be safe.

The Magic of Kindness – Family Night Lesson (she: Adelle)

Cinderella’s mother taught her to always, “Have courage and be kind.” Why is kindness such a powerful attribute? Can kindness actually change a person’s fate? Cinderella transformed from a ragged servant girl to a beautiful queen. What type of results can we expect from being kind? This is the topic of today’s Family Night lesson. I can’t wait to share it with my family and I hope you can take time to discuss the magic of kindness with yours.

July 2015 Visiting Teaching Message Printable (she: Kiki)

First of all, let me explain visiting teaching. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are in a congregation where we are asked to go and visit certain ladies each month to really get to know them, share a quick message and find out if they have any needs that need to be met. It’s one of the ways we build friendships and help our leaders know any needs that families have.
