Famous Apple Cake from Ladies Who Lunch

Apple Cake. Thank you Lara Blatter!

3 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. oil
1 T. vanilla
1 c. coarsely chopped nuts
(walnuts or pecans)
2 c. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
4 apples - thinly sliced - I usually use granny smith or braeburn

Spread apples in a greased 9x13 pan.

Beat eggs at high speed until thick and fluffy. Combine sugar and oil and beat into eggs.

In separate bowl stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add to egg mixture along with vanilla. Stir in nuts. Batter is thicker than a regular cake batter.

Spread batter over apples. Bake at 350 for 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool and frost with cream cheese frosting.

March 19th Genealogy Class

Renee Peterson did a fantastic job introducing us to the vast world of Genealogy on Friday. We were encouraged and inspired to start with ourselves and our immediate family. Gather all records: Birth Certificates, marriage certificates, Blessing certificates etc. and keep them all together in one place. Many helpful websites and software programs were recommended. For those who could not attend, we will post notes soon. Thank you again Renee. It is so wonderful to learn from someone so passionate about Genealogy. Those who attended were inspired to get going.

"Charity Never Faileth" Relief Society Birthday Celebration Review

We had a great turnout for our "Charity Never Faileth" Relief Society Birthday Celebration. Thank you so much to all those who helped out with food, setup, planning, decorations, cleanup and attendance. Take a look at the picture of the beautiful and delicious cakes created by 12 of our sisters.

Thank you Kimberly Spencer for helping us to feel and see a little bit of what the Church does worldwide with their humanitarian efforts. There were not many dry eyes after the inspiring video. It felt good to be able to participate ourselves by preparing hygiene kits for those who are in need right now. If any of you would like to receive a newsletter about local service opportunities, please pass your e-mail on to Kimberly, Cheryl Ekstrom or Juliet Roxburgh.We would be happy to send you one.

A big thank you to our teachers Kara Wing and Mimi Mitchell for their classes on Charity to Ourselves and Charity to our Families. They were both wonderful. We appreciate the time and effort that went into your preparation. If any of you are interested in the book Mimi talked about, it is called The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman.
