(Brittney) Beautiful Bula

I also had to put this as something red and also make sure that it will never be forgotten. Sorry Layne-O AKA Beautiful Bula!!!!!

(Brittney) Pizza Balls

These are sooooooooooo delicious!!!!!!! I found these on Pinterest (one of the best websites ever). They are super easy I want you all to try them. Here is how you make them: canned biscuits, mozzarella cheese, garlic, and diced pepperoni all rolled into a ball and put in a muffin pan! Bake for 15 minutes at 450! Add whatever other ingredients you'd like. Dip in sauce! You will all enjoy them. P.S. my red is the pepperoni!

(Mom) CHERRY RED VELVET CAKE

I saw this in the coupon section of the paper and decided right away it would be perfect for the challenge this month. It even included coupons for the cherry filling and cake mix. Bonus as Jen would say. The frosting is homemade cream cheese frosting with white chocolate in it. It was delishous. I thought it was great. I think everyone else liked the oreo cheesecaked bites better though.

(Jenni) Broccoli and Cheese Soup

So in my bountiful basket this week, I got three bunches of broccoli. I love broccoli cooked, raw, and most in soups. I went to the library and found a book called, Taste of Home Big Book of Heart Warming Soups. In it, I found the most amazing broccoli and cheese soup. It was SO easy to make and my family went CRAZY over it.

1Cup carrots chopped
Water to cover (enough to cover the broccoli as well) and boil for about 6 minutes.
Add 2 bunches of broccoli or 1 bag of frozen and cook about 5 more minutes.
In a bowl combine 2-1/2 cups of milk, 1/4 C flour, 1/2 tsp. Salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper until smooth.
Poor into pot with carrots and broccoli...STIRRING so it won't burn. It will thicken as it heats up. When it's almost time to eat, add 1 cup of cheese.
SO SO EASY AND SO SO GOOD!

(Jenni) Red Cherry Crisp

You might remember a post from last summer were I had canned homemade cherry pie filling. Well, I finally opened a jar and made my family a Valentine RED CHERRY CRISP! It was so yummy!

(Jenni) RED ROSES!

This wasn't what I was going to post, but I was so surprised this morning with these beautiful "RED" roses that I just had to post them. The longer I am married to my big guy, the more romantic he gets. He even left me a little love note. I am one spoiled girl!

(Sarah) February is for Red

So the challenge was to find something red. I choose red laundry on a red table :) Having a lot of girls in the house means lots of red and pink clothes.

(Jenni) FHE

With Dalea off at school, I have enjoyed her kids coming on Monday nights. This week our lesson was on the Aaronic Priesthood. Kailee said the opening prayer and for our song (due to none of us being able to carry a tune) watched a video on YouTube called The Priesthood is Restored. I love the lessons from Desert Book that you can print of the Internet. It had a story about President Monson. The kids really liked it. Then we played hangman with words that went along with the lesson. Nathaniel is the master speller, and it was so funny when I stumped him with the word DEACON.

After our lesson, Carl said a closing prayer and we had treats. I made an apple crisp that was so good! It was a fun night!
