Chocolate Chips with a little bit of dough!

Super fun cookie recipe from the Swap activity!  By Haley!

2 sticks salted butter room temp

3/4 c firmly packed brown sugar

3/4 c sugar

2 eggs 

1 tsp vanilla (white mexican is the best) 

...mix together with hand (very important) 

 then add.. 

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

and then about 1 1/2c flour

then the WHOLE bag of mini choco chips (you are under a binding contract by reading this recipe to NEVER .. EVER put in less than the whole bag:) 

then keep adding flour by the 1/2c until its kind of sticky, but not to sticky...so if you roll out a one inch ball it will leave a film on your hands. 

then bake at 350 for 6-7 minutes...I take them out of the oven as soon as I see the smallest bit of browning on top...sometimes they even look uncooked...but that way they stay nice and soft:) then I let them cool on aluminum foil 

thats it!! ....hope you share :)

Powerful Promises of the Book of Mormon

Book of Mormon Class
"The Heirs Are the Ones Who Listen"

Mosiah 15:11

Taught by Sue G.

Read 2 Nephi 4:33 - Nephi says, "O, Lord wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness."

Nephi wanted to be protected and treated like a son. He wanted the Savior to be not just a brother, or a teacher, or a leader, but more like a father.

How do we enter into that robe from Christ and become an heir? The promise is clear. When he sends a prophet, hear that prophet, love the words of that prophet, obey that prophet.

Read Mosiah 15:12 - Who then are his seed?

Kate was born in Louisiana. She spent the last 8 1/2 years back east in Run Oak Virginia. Run Oak is about 3 hours south of Washington D. C. Kate is staying with her parents, Rolando and Carolyn R.

Kate is a very passionate person. She loves, loves, really loves to cook. She is a gourmet cook. She likes to take gourmet cooking and make it budget friendly for every day people. She loves cooking so much that she had a catering business with one of her friends in Virginia. Her friend was a silent partner and Kate ran the business. She has catered weddings, events, and corporate events with up to 1500 people...impressive huh. She took her cooking passion in a fresh new direction in 2010. She opened a "Chef at Home" program through her business. People would hire a chef to come to their house to cook dinner for them for a date night, special occasion or just for fun. (That would be fun don't you think?) Kate would be a perfect addition to our recipe group (hint, hint).

Kate has had a lot of education. She has a degree in Business Employment, Human Resources and Corporate Training, a Minor degree in Psychology, a teaching certificate and her OPN. She will be working towards her Masters soon. She owned a business that specialized in Business Administration. Companies would turn over their day to day accounting, employee training, or behavioral and efficiency training to her company. She usually had small businesses but she did have a few large corporations too.

She loves children. Kate has always wanted to be a teacher. A college teacher to be exact. She has a daughter who was born a preemie. Maysie Diane was born in March of 2008. She passed away in April 2008. She will forever be in her Mom's heart.

She adores music. All music interests her. She plays the flute. She also loves movies.

She likes reading and history. She also follows politics closely. Kate describes herself as a very outgoing classic person who is grounded and passionate. One of her bosses even called her tenacious. She goes after things.

We want to extend a warm welcome to Kate. We are excited to get to know you and to have you in our ward!!!
