Let the baking begin!

I LOVE to cook. In particular, I love baking. Cookies, pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, brownies, etc. And I really enjoy presenting it in a decorative way and sharing it with others. I just need to make sure I hit the bike too to help offset all the sugar, butter, etc.

Today for dinner, I whipped up this FATTENING pasta dish with scallions, mushrooms, tortellini, heavy cream, butter, and shrimp. It was scrumptious.

I've baked several batches of my caramel corn snack mix for friends and family. I've got guests arriving in town tomorrow (Kelly's mom and dad), so I'll have some good taste testers.

OH HOW BEAUTIFUL!!! Kelly, that looks like such fun. Ok, when I'm feeling better and you're baking I would love for you to call me over so I can bake with you. Those are such pretty treats!

Tell me you DIDN'T make the donuts too - you put me to shame, but I'm always so impressed by your talents!

Those are awesome donuts! I am sure they taste as good as they look. You are so creative with everything, I love it.

Food is an essential part of my life. I work-out TO eat what I want. I dread the day I actually have to work out and cut out delicious baked goods.

Yes, I did make these...however they are NOT donuts. They are BROWNIES, using my mini stoneware fluted stone (mini bundt cakes). Then I drizzled melted chocolate on, followed by Halloween sprinkles. I drizzled chocole on the pretzels too. The raggedy quilt in the background was used as a tablecloth and I made that too, by the way.

I think we should have had these for the VT conference dessert. Even though the pumpkin bars were delicious, I'm a chocolate lover at heart! Kelly....you are so talented, you leave me speechless! I want that recipe!

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl shares

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
