Self Reliance Tip #42 Just Desserts!!
Good Morning Sisters!!!
Now that you've been armed with nutritious and delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners, now its time to break out the good stuff!
On my mother-in-law's wall is a saying " DESSERTS is STRESSED spelled backwards." Nothing calms the "sour" of hardship like the opposition of something sweet. It's a proven fact...in my life anyway. Desserts are the "Comfort Food of Queens." In a WCS (Worst Case Scenario) calorie counting will be the LAST thing on anybody's mind.
Here are a few ideas:

Brownies
Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Honey Graham Crackers
Oh Henry Bars
....and more!
Sister Leiah also told me about this website this week and I LOVE it!! This English Muffin recipe is awesome. My first try was 1/2 wheat 1/2 white and they turned out BEAUTIFUL! This blogger takes all her recipes and budgets every penny. She has a HUGE list of recipes.

....And another thing....
An "EXCELLENT" shout-out to Sister Alisha for a job well done on Sunday's talk. There is so much more to self-reliance than food. I loved what she had to say about education!
In March our family will be "Preparedness Camping". Last night for Family Home Evening we put each family member in charge of making a dinner and a dessert through the week. Some of them I had to bite my tongue (...like with ramen noodles...yuck). I think it is important that each family member understands how much work and planning goes into food storage meals. It is important for them to learn how to cook. Yeah, it would just be easier to do it, but it is part of an education they won't be getting at school.
