Saturday Side Notes-Lemon Pave, Cream and Doves!

2/18/2017

             This is lemon season, so of course there must be lemon desserts!  I have already shown you Blackberry Lemon Bars, but today I wanted a stand alone lemon dessert.  I was feeding 9 people for dinner today, but some people don't like lemon, so I made one chocolate pie for those guys. For the main dish, I served Chicken Enchilada Casserole, which I have shared the recipe with you before.  That was a crock pot version, but because I needed more than my crock pot would serve, I made it in the oven today.  Everyone loved it, but the lemon dessert was the stand out, hands down most delicious and simple thing to make success!  I found the recipe on  Taste and Tell, and as I made it, I realized that it is the same as a recipe my son brought home from Brazil called Pavé. The main difference is that he made his in a 9 x 13 pan and this one is a pretty round pie.  Whatever the shape, you should try it, it is so good.  The main ingredients are sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and lemon.  You will love it.

         Of course, I needed some whipped cream to decorate the pie. Madalynn went to Sprouts to buy me the cream because she likes to buy organic.  Oh my goodness you guys!  Do you see this cute bottle that Straus' cream comes in?  My mind is racing with ideas about what to do with these little pint sized bottles!  We may be eating a lot of whipped cream for a little while so that I can collect more of them.

Look at that cute cow on the front! I am in love!
 Madalynn says that they also have bottles like these for chocolate milk and other products.  So, we are going to have to try a few of those products now that I know that they exist. The quality of this cream is superb.  I haven't tasted cream this fresh and good for years.  This is not an affiliate post, I just really liked this cream, as well as the container.  I am going to write them and tell them.

               Finally, you may remember that my job at church is to teach music to the Primary children ages 18 months to 11 years of age.  (Not all at the same time!)  During the month of February, I have been teaching them our family's favorite hymn, "Choose the Right".  We are working on the last verse tomorrow.  The beginning line goes:   
"Choose the right, there is peace in righteous doing.  Choose the right, there's safety for the soul..." (LDS Hymns, pg 239)

,             That first line is a big part of my faith and testimony.  I know that our Heavenly Father has given us commandments to help us to be happy or even better,  to have joy!  When we keep those commandments and try to live the way we should, we will experience happiness and joy in our lives.  We will avoid the things that will bring us into bondage and we can rise above our problems through faith in him. I have put this to the test and I know it is true.  So, because I feel so strongly about this, as I explain to the children what those words in the hymn mean, I want them to feel my testimony and to develop their own.  So, I made them these dove handouts to take home and hang somewhere as a reminder of the blessings that can come when we choose the right.  I know from  otherchorister ideas that I have posted, that there are other Primary Choristers out there looking for ideas as well.  I hope this handout is helpful to you.  Click the button to print it.
Peace in Righteous Doing
          That was my Saturday! Good dinner, awesome product discovery, an inspired idea, Oh and did I mention a power outage?  Overall, a great day!  How was yours?  Talk to you next week.

I too love to recycle things when I am done with the containers. And those bottles are so cute I'msure you'll find plenty of uses for them. Now that pie looks super yummy so I'm going to pin this recipe for future use.
