Recipes!!

Here are the recipes from the Camp Leader retreat. Enjoy!!

Camp Fire Mac and cheese

• 1 (4 3/8-inch) disposable aluminum pie pan or small loaf pans
• 1/2 cup cooked elbow macaroni 
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar
• 1 tablespoon Parmesan
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12- by 16-inch piece of foil

How to make it:

1. Combine all the ingredients in pans. Then seal it in foil (a double layer if you're cooking over an open flame) as shown, folding over the extra foil at the top to make a sturdy handle to poke a stick or tongs through.
2. Hold the packet over a campfire or set it directly on a grill to melt the cheese, about 7 minutes. Let the pack cool briefly, then open it carefully. Stir the mac and cheese before eating it.

* Variation for Alfredo Sauce

Use 2 tbsp of Cream Cheese and a ¼ parmesan cheese instead of Cheddar

Cafe Rio Creamy Dressing

Combine the following ingredients in the blender and blend until creamy:

• 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
• 1 Cup Mayo
• 1 C chopped Cilantro
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tomatillos
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Cafe Rio Sweet Pork

Ingredients

• 2-3 lbs. boneless pork (carnitas, shoulder etc)
• 1 12 ox. can Coke
• 1/4 c brown sugar
• 1 12 oz. can enchilada sauce
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 small can diced greenchileis
• 3/4 C brown sugar

Instructions

• Marinade pork for at least 2 hours or overnight in can of coke and 1/4 C brown sugar.
• Pour pork and liquid into crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
• Remove meat and shred. Discard liquid
• Put meat back in crock pot and add enchilada sauce, garlic, green chilies and brown sugar.
• Cook for 30-60 more minutes. If there is excess liquid drain some off 

Don't forget you can cook the pork ahead of time and freeze it, then just reheat at camp. Just like Sister Pili demonstrated for us at the leader retreat! 

Daily Themes

These are the daily themes that the stake will be incorporating into our devotionals and daily activities. You are welcome to also use them if you would like to!

Tuesday- "She's just a girl and she's on fire." Each YW is a Daughter of God and needs to know WHO they are.

Wednesday - "They can see the flame that's in her eyes." Each YW can BE a Shining example in dress, speech, music and action

Thursday - "She's got both feet on the ground and she's burning it down." Each YW can BE firm and establish a foundation in daily scriptures and prayer. Stand in Holy Places!

Friday - "Hottest of the hottest Girls." These are the YW who are modest, virtuous and preparing for temple marriage.

Saturday - "You can try but you'll never forget her name." Encourage the YW to go forth and share their flame, testimony and light.
