Conference Snack Tags

This weekend is General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It is something that I always look forward to, we are able to watch the sessions on TV, so it is nice to gather your family around you and enjoy it all together.  

I had a request to make some Conference Snack tags to go along with the S’mores Snack Mix for conference and decided to make a whole page of different tags, so you can pick which treat you would like to use.  They are available now in my shop for a quick download.  All you do is print and cut out!

These darling tags are perfect for your LDS Conference Snacking. They are great little incentives to remind your conference listeners of the importance of listening to the Prophet!   You can use the S’mores Snack Mix, Soda, Snickers or M& M’s with these fun tags! Make this conference weekend a “Sweet” one to remember!  There are 12 tags is all, so you can give one to your Grandkids, family, your visiting teaching sisters, your primary or youth classes, or anyone that you know that wants to make conference a little “Sweeter”!

Oct 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout

Here is the visiting teaching handout for this month for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

This month they are starting a new series on the visiting teaching message: “This is the first in a series of Visiting Teaching Messages featuring aspects of the mission of the Savior.”

The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Creator

This month the aspect that is being taught is that Jesus Christ is the Creator.  I chose to feature the quote by President Utchdorf; “We are the Reason He Created the Universe!  I love this thought and I hope that we can all remember this in times of trial and sorrow.

Fall Sweet & Salty Mix

Here is the recipe that I promised, for a yummy sweet and salty fall mix that I used to give the sisters that I visit teach.

 I love the buttery, salty flavor of the bugles for the base of this recipe, it is also a great recipe because you can add whatever you want to make your own version!  I think that dried cranberries, chocolate pomegranates or spiced gumdrops would also be wonderful in this mix!

4th of July Party

This recipe is perfect for snacking, but I must warn you that it can be very addicting!  With the sweet and salty taste, you won’t be able to eat just one handful!  It is a combination of chocolatey, sweet, salty, peanut butter, and marshmellowy bliss! This is fun to package up in individual cups or bags and looks so pretty!  There is also a story behind the name of this treat!

Better Than Hunting Chex Mix

And last, but not least, here is a fun printable for you to use!  We all know how precious our freedom is, so let’s let it RING!  You can make it into a faux canvas block, like I did here, or you can just print it and frame it.  There is the tan background or a white version.
