Follow the Prophet

While blog stalking today, I came across this post from http://murrayandmathews.blogspot.com/.  I thought what she wrote was excellent advise.  She writes:

If you have a planned surgery or having a baby, you should plan accordingly and stock your freezer full of meals for your family. It's a different scenario of course for emergency illnesses. Somehow, we need to re-educate people to be self-reliant and pre-plan for when you are ill. Freezer meals are an excellent way to take care of your family when you are unable cook dinner - everyone should check it out.


Freezer recipes from One Crazy Cookie here.


Freezer recipes from Mom's Budget here. She also has basic information on Freezer Cooking here.


I found a great link to a book - but she also provided lots of recipes. The Cream Cheese Chicken recipe I made last week was one of the recipes she listed. The book is called 30 meals in one day and at this link she provides many free recipes.


There are many great sites and ideas out in blog land. Here are just a few to help you plan to be self-reliant, save money and time at the same time.


She pretty much gives you all the info you need to begin.  What a wonderful way to eat healthy, save time, save money, and Follow the Prophet by becoming more self-reliant!

Yum Yum

Here is the recipe for the Popcorn cake I talked about on Facebook. I got this recipe from my mom who has had it for ages. On the years that I didn't want German Chocolate cake for my birthday it was because I wanted this cake instead. This recipe is also in the GREEN Chesterfield Ward Cookbook (p. 58) for those of you who have it.


Popcorn Cake
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. oil
1 large bag of marshmallows (small ones melt faster)
1 lb. peanuts (I don't use the entire can, but almost)
1 lb. plain M&M's
Unbuttered popped popcorn (large bowl - maybe a little more)


Melt butter, oil and marshmallows. Mix in peanuts, M&M's and popcorn. Put in a bundt pan or a 9x13" pan.

HINT: Let marshmallow mixture cool a little or the M&M's will melt.



I made this cake in a 9x13" pan. It makes them more like bars than a cake. You will notice that the marshmallow mixture was still a little to warm and the M&M's melted. That makes the cake not look at pretty, but that doesn't really matter to me!!


These are the peanuts I use. You can buy them at Wal-Mart
