Twisted GOODNESS!

So a lady in my ward gave me a breadstick the other day. and it was the most tastiest breadstick that has ever touched my lips. i had to savor every inch of that breadstick and after i finished i NEEDED more. so i immediately texted her and got the recipe...
i haven't had a chance to try it out yet but here it is so you can make it and invite me over to eat them! :)

CARRIE STARR'S EASY BREADSTICKS

1 ½ TB YEAST
1 ½ CP WARM WATER
2 TB SUGAR
1 TSP SALT
3 ¼ CP FLOUR


LET RAISE 30 MINUTES. ROLL OUT INTO RECTANGLE. MELT 1 STICK BUTTER. SPREAD SOME OVER THE TOP-POUR THE REST INTO BAKING PAN. SEASON BREAD STICKS HOW YOU WANT. (I USE GARLIC SALT AND PARMESAN CHEESE) FOLD IN HALF LONG WAY. CUT BREAD STICKS THE SHORT WAY. TWIST THE BREAD AND PUT INTO 9 X 13 PAN ROLLING IN BUTTER. I SEASON THE TOP OF THE BREAD STICKS AS WELL WITH PARMESAN CHEESE. DARK PAN WILL BROWN THE BOTTOMS BETTER IF YOU LIKE BREADSTICKS WITH A CRUNCH. YOU CAN ALSO DO CINNAMON AND SUGAR TO HAVE A SWEET TREAT!


BAKE 375 FOR 20 MINUTES


HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

Is Your Family Prepared?




Last week I was able to attend a great ward fireside for family emergency preparedness. (Mom and Gary attended and can add to this post if I have left anything out.)




Before attending the meeting my thoughts and feelings of being prepared as a family were scattered in confusion. Thankfully, after attending, I feel more confident in the things I need to do to help my family be prepared in the last days. I thought it would be a great topic to share and pass along any information gathered to immediate and extended family as well as friends.




First Aid - How many first aid kits do you have? If so what is in them? Are they missing anything. Brother Stephen (don't recall his last name) discussed some of the different first aid kits he has. He had a primary family first aid kit that was kept at home and also an on the go one.




Food Storage - The Lord has given revelation to our past and present prophets that we need to at least have a ONE YEAR storage supply for our family. There is so much information out there on what you can buy. DON'T FORGET WATER! Gary gave a great lesson on proper water storage and how to clean water as well. Canning is also great to help preserve fruits, vegetables and even MEAT!




Cooking - Dutch ovens and camping stoves.




Meeting Place - In the event of a disaster, where is your family meeting?




I am not posting a ton of specifics in this post, however, I am creating a database with checklists, documents, reminders, website links and so forth if you are interested in using and accessing it -I will need your email.
