Peaches

Peaches are the deal of the week.  Maceys has a 24 lb. box of canning peaches for $13.98.  That comes out to .58 per pound.  Some of you may have a tree full of them but for those of us that didn't want to pick up squishy fruit off of our grass, this is the next best thing.  Plus, it is cheaper than driving to Brigham City.  Maceys is really good about buying local so I would suspect they are Utah peaches but I can't be certain.  While you are there, check out these other deals.

Libby's canned veggies 3 for $1, Kraft Mac and Cheese 4 pack $1.99, Banquet Pot Pies .48, Crisco Cooking Oil $1.98, dz medium eggs .58, 32 oz Smuckers jelly $1.25, Shasta 2 liter .68, Totinos frozen pizza $1, WF biscuit tubes .25, lrg avocados .69, 1 lb. bag mini carrots.

Peach Crunch Cake

For those of you who went to the last Relief Society meeting at Julie Chamber's house, and loved the dessert, this is how to make it. You can also find the recipe on Bakerella's website, here. Thanks, Julie!

Peach Crunch Cake

24.5 oz jar of sliced peaches in light syrup
1 package yellow cake mix
1 stick butter (1/2 cup), cut into 16 pieces
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

{Julie didn’t use the walnuts, but instead mixed 1 cup of oats with the brown sugar and sprinkled on top.}

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Layer ingredients in a 13 X 9 dish, in order starting with the peaches.
Bake for about 40 minutes.
Serve warm or cold… with or without ice cream.

Enjoy!

Backyard Social

This year's Backyard Social was amazing.  If you missed it you really missed out.  Julie's backyard was beautiful.  It was a peaceful setting to enjoy some perfect "ladies" food...chicken salad croissants, chips, fruit and some homemade lemonade.  It was so much fun to visit with so many of you!

Julie's sister-in-law and partner sang to us for a half an hour or so. They were fantastic!  There were songs to please each one in our eclectic little group.  While they were finishing up we were served some warm peach cobbler ala mode....mmmm.

A super-huge THANK YOU to Julie Chambers, Dawn Armstrong, Wendy Selu and Jaimi Slade for giving us a great girls night out!

School Supplies and Candy Bars

Since I am sure we ALL have this on our minds I thought I would share some deals on school supplies this week.  I am sorry I didn't get these up sooner as these prices are only good through Saturday but watch for your Sunday paper ads for more great deals to come.  This is the time of year to stock up!

Double BoxTops on Ziploc, Hefty and GM products at Walmart (Boxtops help our school)

Let me just put a plug in for box tops.  Bennion Elementary earned over $2000 last year from those little things.  If you aren't saving them please start.  You can give them to your little neighbor school child or I would be happy to take them and turn them in.  Or, save them for your grandchildren.  I am certain their school collects them too.  Don't let them go to waste!  It is like throwing money down the drain.  (Now you know how I really feel about that!  I have been called the box top nazi before:))

And last but not least, I highly recommend you head to Macey's where you can get M&M Mars candybars 3 for $1.  They have not been this price for over a year and there is no limit.  It is just the basic plain and peanut M&M's, Snickers, Milky Way, Twix and 3 Musketeers.  They will give rainchecks if they are out.  Pick up their ad while you are there and get of few more of those front page deals...bottled water, pasta, sobe drinks.  It is worth your trip.

Also, since I have your attention, would you mind leaving a comment or emailing me to let me know you actually read this?  I am trying to decide if it is worth my time or not.  Thanks!

Upcoming Sunday lesson -- August 8
