Click for a Cause

I just found out about the National Eat Together Week promotion, which ends Saturday. By printing or sharing recipes, you can help feed others. The pork producers will donate 5 pounds of pork to a food bank for each recipe from the National Eat Together Week page shared through email or printed. What an easy way to help others!


America’s pork producers have officially been encouraging families to enjoy meals together for the last 14 years. Whether it’s dinner, breakfast or a weekend brunch, National Eat Together Week, September 20-26, 2009, encourages families to eat together WHENEVER they can find time.

To help get the word out, the National Pork Board has enlisted all-American supermodel and celebrity mom Niki Taylor, mother of twins Jake and Hunter, and baby Ciel. Says Niki, “With all we’ve got going on, it can be difficult to fit in family meals. However, because we’re so busy, it’s more important than ever to get in quality family time, and eating together is a great way to do that.”America’s pork producers are helping those in need enjoy a meal, too. Beginning at midnight Sunday, September 20, in partnership with Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief charity, America’s pork producers are encouraging you to “click for a cause.” For every recipe printed or shared via email from the special National Eat Together Week section below, America’s pork producers will donate five pounds of pork (or about 25 meals) to a food bank in need.

Aunt Nancy's Green Cake

  My family calls this Aunt Nancy's Green Cake (it came from my Aunt Nancy, but I don't know where she got it). 1 yellow or white cake mix (for 13-by-9-inch pan) five eggs 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup water 1 box instant pistachio pudding I mix the wet ingredients first, then add the cake mix and pudding mix. You'll need to use a mixer because the pudding makes it harder to stir. We use a bundt pan (well greased) and bake slightly longer than the instructions on the box. (I just checked the cake mix in my pantry - it says 33-36 minutes at 350F for bundt pan, so I would go 40 minutes and test for doneness.) We don't usually frost it. Maybe sprinkle powdered sugar over it. But do what makes you happy. The cake is very moist (five eggs!).

My Memories May blog train

Image
I use MyMemories digital scrapbooking software . There is a free downloads section on the website, and here's the May blog train , with more free stuff. The downloads have two options: formatted for MyMemories, or a general download that you can use in other programs. It would be great if people used the software, but you can still have the downloads (you just have to sign up for a free account). And you can download a trial version to try it out. If you decide to buy MyMemories, I have a discount code: STMMMS22597. The buyer gets a $10 discount and yes, I would get paid. But still, try it out for free and download the free stuff you can from the website and the blog train. *May's Blog Train ends May 31st* The color palette Each link below takes you directly to the exact page for each designer's Blog Train entry and opens in a new tab.

So, it's been awhile

Wow. My last post was in November 2017. I'm not even going to try to recap the past 14 months in this post. A quick update, though. I won a free pass to Rootstech Feb. 27-March2 in Salt Lake City. I have family in the area who offered to let me stay with them, and a very kind person has offered to pay for my plane tickets. My next dilemma - and it's a big one - is which sessions to attend. I'm getting overwhelmed with choices. There are more than 300 sessions from Wednesday through Saturday, and I can't decide. So I'm going to throw this out there (if anybody's reading this) and say I will attend two sessions picked by someone else. The schedule is posted here . The two sessions must be on Thursday, Feb. 28. One morning session and one afternoon session. If there are multiple submissions, I will go with the most popular. If there's only one, I'll go to that one. Each person who comments can pick one morning session and one afternoon session.
