Fun with Relief Society!

DAY TWO NO SUGAR! Still going strong, but of course it is only day two! I must confess though, I was making dinner and it is this yummy recipe for Enchilada soup, first time I have ever made it and it is super good and super easy. But to my dismay, I read on the back of the cream of chicken soup label and there you have it: SUGAR! I mean are you kidding me? Why do they put it in EVERYTHING!!!!? I would have never guessed that. Well I still ate the soup but now I know, cream of chicken beware, at least for these 30 days.
Here is the recipe if you want it:

Enchilada Soup
4 cups cooked chicken shredded
2 cans cream of potato soup
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cans mexicorn drained
2 cans 4 0z diced green chiles
2 cups milk
2 cans chicken broth (I used one to make the soup thicker)
2/3 cups mushrooms (i didn't put these in)
16 oz cheese whiz

Heat thoroughly. Serve with corn or tortilla chips. Also you can heat this in the crockpot, but it heats fast on the stove too.

I know, this isn't the healthiest recipe ever, but I made it for our Relief Society meeting because it was "All About Dinners" night. For those of you who aren't LDS, we have a women's organization called the Relief Society and I am in charge of all our Relief Society meetings. We are meeting the first thursday of every month and so we have the year all planned out with fun activities. We are doing the "All About" theme this year, I think it will be really fun. Last month we did "All About Health" and had someone teach us Yoga tips, and about beating the winter blues, and about being Spiritually healthy. Then we had green smoothies and homemade granola. It went really well. Tonight we did "All About Dinner" and had someone talk about stretching your meals to make them cheaper, and someone to talk about shopping sales, and then I talked briefly about freezer dinners. The sister's that taught did awesome! I learned a lot from them. Then we had a little recipe book for everyone of easy dinner recipes from the ward. They turned out really cute. We served lemonade, oatmeal cookies, taco chicken, chips and enchilada soup (which is a really easy, dump cans in a pot dinner). We had a great turnout. I love these sisters and I love our ward!!!
