CSI:  Compassionate Service Initiative

 

The scene of the crime…

 


Savory Thanksgiving Turkey


 

If I were in charge of  cooking the turkey this year, (which I wish I was because of this recipe)  this is the recipe I would use.  It makes the most tender, savory turkey meat you have ever tasted.  I’m drooling just thinking about how delicious it is.  It does take a few days to defrost and marinade the turkey, but it is so worth it.  Happy Thanksgiving!


Pumpkin Pie Cake

My mom has been making this pumpkin dessert for years and it is SO good.  This is the recipe I make when I am craving pumpkin pie, but I don’t feel like making a pie crust.  It is so easy to put together and so delicious.   I attended the Witches Night Out at Gardner Village last night and was pleased to see it was the indulgent dessert of choice all over the village.  


Taking the guess work out of dinner.




I was at a party a few months ago and was asked this question in a get-to-know you game:  “How does dinner come together daily in your home?”  I laughed because as much as I love to cook, my routine was not exciting or impressive.  Every night around 5pm  my routine was to look in the freezer, pull something out, defrost it,add fresh ingredients and serve it with a few side dishes in about 15 minutes.  It was the same every night and has worked great for us.  But when our home was hit by lightening and our oven was fried 8 weeks ago, I was unable to bake, and we had to switch things up a little.   I decided we would plan a weekly menu and repeat it weekly using recipes I could make on the stove top. 


Casserole Ideas. Easy meals to make and share.

Question:  Hey, we are making freezer meals (as a relief society activity) for the compassionate service leader to keep & distribute as needed. Do you have a couple of recipes you could recommend? Thanks Jen!

Answer:  Yes I do have some great casserole type dishes.
