Be thou an example

I love our Young Women's theme for next year found in 1 Timothy 4:12. With all that is going on in the world right now, it is more important than ever for us to be an example to those who are watching us. I also love this code of conduct given to us by President Monson: You have a heritage; honor it. You will meet temptation; withstand it. You know the truth; live it. You have a testimony; share it.

In a large bowl, manually moosh together the meat, 1/4 of the can of cream of mushroom soup, egg, bread crumbs, and steak seasoning. Form into 4 oval patties. In a large skillet heat oil and 1 tbsp of the butter. Brown the patties on both sides. Once browned remove to a plate. Put 2nd tbsp of butter in skillet and saute the mushrooms for 7 minutes.

*I made the patties and then just combined all the other ingredients and let it cook in my slow cooker for a few hours. It turned out great, and the kids loved it served over mashed potatoes.

Salisbury Steak anyone?

There is a guy in Elder Barney's mission area that loves to cook for all of the missionaries, and his name is Uncle Jay. He emailed me and asked for a recipe for a favorite cake of Elder B. and he also sent me the recipe for the main dish he made for them, which was salisbury steak. We thought it sounded good, so last Sunday we made it for dinner. Devin wanted to help, so this is him squishing the ground turkey, eggs and other ingredients together.


The mixing is all done, now it's time to throw it in a pan!


Dinner time! The salisbury steak was really good, even picky Devin liked it!


Jaron likes it too! Yum! Thanks for the recipe Uncle Jay!!
