And Another

Baked Russian Chicken
from Christine Sirrine

4-5 large chicken breasts
1 small bottle of Russian Salad Dressing (I use Wish Bone)
1 pkg (envelope) dried onion soup mix (I use Lipton)
1 (8-12 ox) orange marmalade, apricot or peach jam (don't be afraid to try a variety of jams to see what you like-- I often mix plum or strawberry jam with the apricot, etc. Just do it to taste)

Place Chicken Breasts in baking dish. Mix all remaining ingredients together. Pour over chicken. Bake at 350º for one hour or until done. Do not cover while baking. This will help the sauce crystalize on the chicken. You will have extra sauce which may be put on top of rice, etc.

Another recipe

Bran Muffins
from me this time

1-1/4 cups sugar
2-1/2 tsp baking soda
¾ cup shortening
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup boiling water
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup All Bran Cereal
3 cups flour (white or wheat)
2 cups bran flakes cereal

Add shortening and bran flakes to boiling water and set aside. Mix all other ingredients in mixer and then add water mixture. Beat well. Bake muffins in paper muffin cups or greased muffin pan at 350 degrees till done, either mini muffins or larger.

Here is the best part:
Batter can be stored in refrigerator in covered container for about 2 weeks and used as needed.

Time for a new post

It has been a while since I posted anything informational, so here I go.

1. VISITING TEACHING: April is over and I am in need of visiting teaching reports once again. Also, a few changes were made to the routes last month. If you have not received a new list or know if your route has changed, NOW is the time to find out! Please email or call me with your reports. If I haven't heard from you by the end of the week, you can expect a call from myself or my trusty Visiting Teaching Leader, Sister Schoen. You can email me at ewindbigler@gmail.com or call me at 837-3908.

2. TEMPLE TRIP: We have scheduled a carpool trip to the temple this Friday evening for Stake Temple Day. I will be driving (fair warning, in case that scares you :) We will be meeting at the Fruitland Exit (Drury parking lot) at 5:00 pm on this Friday evening, May 8th. If you prefer to meet us in Perryville, please plan to meet at the Perryville Wal-Mart parking lot at 5:30 pm. AND, if you plan to attend, I need to know so that we are sure to have enough seats in cars. Please email or call me to let me know you will attend. Again, you can email me at ewindbigler@gmail.com or call me at 837-3908.

3. SERVICE PROJECT: There may be opportunities to do service at the Jamieson home. Anyone who would like to help call Chantal at 986-8830.

And a recipe

Since many of our Jackson Branch recipes were left out of the Stake RS Cookbook (not our fault, we promise!) we are going to post your submitted recipes here for all to enjoy. We will eventually also get them printed out for you to add to your copy of the Stake Cookbook. AND, I promise to bring all submitted recipes to return to you this Sunday, so remind me to give them to you!

Here is one for today form Sister Godwin:
