Spinach Salad Recipe
This is the recipe for the spinach salad we had at our progressive dinner. (which by the way, if you missed it - it was a lot of fun!) It's not very exact with the measurements. You just kind of throw it together and it all works out. This recipe serves 30.
1.5 costco bags of spinach
16 oz. craisins (1/3 of the big costco bag)
1 (20 oz.) bag precooked bacon, crumbled (I cooked my own bacon - either way works)
1.5 lbs. pine nuts (I used much less than this and I think it was fine)
5 lbs. swiss cheese, shredded (I don't think I used this much cheese either - it's not exact)
1 bag of red seedless grapes, halved
all the seeds of 1 pomegranate (**see trick below for deseeding pomegranate)
can also add green onions and mushrooms
Add dressing 30 minutes before serving
Dressing (you will need to double or triple the dressing recipe to serve 30) I tripled it and it made way too much, you'll just have to play around with it to see what works for you.
2/3 cup cider vinegar
1 cup salad oil
1 t salt
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 t mustard
blend in blender and then add 2 t poppy seeds
**To remove seeds from pomegranates, cut pomegranate in half and put in a bowl of cold water. Peel away skin and white parts with your hands. The seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the white part floats so you can easily drain that off and throw it away.

Did you know we have a Yahoo group?
For those of you who don't know, a Yahoo group is like a web forum. Group messages can be posted and read by e-mail or on the group homepage. Members can choose whether to receive individual e-mails or daily digest e-mails, or to read the posts at the web site.
This is a great way to keep in touch with the sisters in the ward. We'd love to see more of you there! I've added a button over on the sidebar to join. But you can use this one as well.

More pictures!
Here are some pictures of the hooded towel and washcloth set. (he is holding the washcloth in his hand, you kind of have to look close to see it) There are more details about colors of towels and ribbon trim in the previous post below.
These are the smaller magnets. The ones shown in the previous post are the large magnets. When you order a set of 6 magnets you will get 3 large and 3 of these small ones. The small ones are about the size of a penny. The large ones are about the size of a quarter. You can order the magnets without ordering the magnet board. (and vice versa) :)

How to print the order form
Some of you have had trouble printing the order form off the blog. Here is how I did it. I am using Internet Explorer 7, so it may be different if you are using a different set up.
1. Click on the picture of the order form.
2. Click on the arrow next to the print button and select print preview.
3. Change the paper layout to be landscape instead of portrait. (The little pictures that look like a piece of paper up at the top of the screen. It is automatically set for portrait, so you need to select the one next to it to make it landscape)
4. Next, where is says "Shrink to Fit" you need to change it to 50%.
5. Then just click the print button (looks like a printer.)
Hope that helps! You can always call me and I'll walk you through it if you need help! Becky (623) 327-9873
