“I stress … the deep need each woman has to study the scriptures. We want our homes to be blessed with sister scriptorians—whether you are single or married, young or old, widowed or living in a family. After all, who has any greater need to ‘treasure up’ the truths of the gospel (on which they may call in their moments of need) than do women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?”

Raspberry Dream Dessert

We had a delightful time at our "Women's Health" Relief Society activity this month. Jana Westergard whipped up an amazing dessert that we all loved! In case you missed out, here's the recipe:

(Not a photo of the actual dessert. Jana's was even prettier & certainly more yummy!)

2 cups flour
1 cup butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 pkg Raspberry Danish Dessert Mix
1 1/2 cups water

1 pkg. frozen raspberries
2 envelopes Dream Whip (found by the jello)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix flour, butter, brown sugar, and nuts. Spread in 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove 1/2 of crumb mixture and set aside. Spread remaining 1/2 mixture in pan.

Prepare Danish Dessert Mix using 1 1/2 cup water. Cool just a little and add raspberries. Set aside.

Prepare Dream Whip as directed on box. Stir into cream cheese which has been softened and mixed with powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread this mixture on crumb layer in pan. Spoon raspberry mixture over this layer. Top with remaining crumbs. Chill.
