Missionary Enrichment

Sewing on a button...
Ironing a shirt...

Cooking a simple omelet...We had a wonderful Mini-Enrichment Tuesday night that involved the young men in our ward-ages 8 to 17- and their mothers. The boys learned some skills that will help them prepare for and serve missions when they turn 19. We appreciate all that attended, especially those that helped teach the boys these skills, and for the presentation by Brother Votaw. Thank you Enrichment Committee for a great evening.

Recipes

Thank you, Angelica, for sharing these recipes. If anyone else has any recipes they would like to share, please email them to jodilynn6264@hotmail.com.

Emeril's Strawberry Lemonade

Ingredients
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
2 cups cold sparkling water or club soda
Ice
Mint sprigs, garnish
Whole strawberries, garnish
Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Add the lemon peel and lemon juice, stir, and remove from the heat. Let cool completely, then strain into a clean pitcher.

In a blender, puree the pint of strawberries and add to the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir well to combine and refrigerate until well chilled.

Add the sparkling water and stir well. Pour over glasses filled with ice and serve, garnished with mint and strawberries.




Cafe Rio Pork Barabcoa

Here is the recipe for the sweet roast pork. I got it from this blog: http://heidikins.com/2008/08/29/whippin-it-up-cafe-rio-pork-barbacoa-salad-with-tomatillo-dressing/
and just changed things a little to make it less spicy so my daughter would like it. Read the whole blog for a good salad suggestion and recipes for the tomatillo dressing and cilantro-lime rice, or just serve it on tacos, burritos, etc. It is awesome!

3 lb pork roast (butt, shoulder)
8-10 oz red enchilada sauce (or taco sauce)
10 oz Dr. Pepper (not diet)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1 clove garlic (or 1/2 tsp powder)
3/4 c brown sugar
1/9 c chopped fresh cilantro
dash of cayenne pepper, more if you like it spicier

Put roast in crock pot and cover halfway with water. Cook on low 8-12 hours. Drain water and return roast to crock pot. Mix remaining ingredients, pour over roast, cook 4 more hours on low. Remove roast, shred, and return to sauce in crock pot, stirring well. At this point you can cook for another hour or two or serve immediately. This recipe would be great to double and freeze leftovers. When you want a quick dinner, pull it out of the freezer and cook on the stove on low for half an hour, or until warmed through.
