Mmmmmm good!

Each month our Enrichment cooking group meets to learn new skills and share ideas and of course lots of talking and laughing. Last night was our annual kick-off meeting when we have a potluck at Katie's house and ooh and ahh at each others creations. This time was no exception and lots of wonderful creations were presented along with recipes. I think the favorite was the Curried Chicken with brown rice made by Leslie. After dinner we were all given a list of suggested topics for the coming year and people signed up for what they wanted to do in their homes. I picked October where I will teach 2 methods of brining a turkey. Some of the topics are: Pillsbury Bake Off recipes; grilling; soups/chowders; making a mix from ground wheat (yuck); appetizers; summer drinks, etc. etc. It is a nice group of women with great talents. Our fearless leader is a Martha Stewart wannabe and she really inspires us to do our best.

Here is the wonderful spread of tasty dishes. My contribution of apple dumplings made with crescent rolls is on the left next to the Cool Whip can.

Above is my neighbor Loretta who by the way is a wonderful quilting friend

Cristy Christiansen with her usual smiling face and infectious laugh! You always know when she is in the room. Cristy and her family live part time in Colorado and part time in St. George. They have business ventures in both places. We really like it when she comes back to St. George and joins in the activities. This time they are actually here because of medical reasons.
