CPR and Milk

How do these 2 things go together? Well, they don't really, other than that is what we talked about in our June 23rd Provident Living meeting. CPR and powdered milk.

CPR
Bruce Cline (and friend) showed a video and showed the basics in CPR. We even got to try it out on CPR dummies.
* 30 and 2 - 30 compressions for every 2 breaths. Don't forget to send someone to call 911!

If you are interested in becoming trained they are held at Station 31, 9010 South 150 East from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. You are encouraged to register early. For upcoming dates and fees, please call 801-568-2944 or visit Sandy City's website at www.sandy.utah.gov

POWDERED MILK
Debbie Legge had a taste-testing session where we got to try out different types of powdered milk. Some of us were surprised at what we liked and didn't. The brands we tried were: Country Cream, Morning Moo, Carnation, Kroger, Western Family, and Sandy Dry Pack. I think we each liked something different. It was a great activity to find out our likes and dislikes.

TREAT

For our treat tonight we had veggies with our Provident Living Yogurt-Dill Veggie Dip - pg. 113 in the binder. YUM!

Recipe:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 Tbsp. parsley
1 Tbsp. dill weed
1 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. dried onion

In a small mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients together. Let set for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Serve with raw or cooked veggies.

RECIPE - Spaghetti Pie

This is a recipe that Debbie Legge made at the April meeting. Delicious! (and easy). For those of you that purchased the Provident Living binder, it is on page 29.

6 oz. dry spaghetti
2 beaten eggs
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese, dried or fresh
2 Tb. butter
1/4 c. chopped green pepper
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. sour cream
1 1/2 c. spaghetti sauce
4 oz. grated mozzarella cheese

Cook spaghetti according to directions for cooking "perfect pasta." (page 27) Drain.
While spaghetti is still warm, mix in eggs and cheese.
Press into buttered pie plate, forming a "crust."
In small skillet, melt the butter and saute the onion and green pepper.
Place on paper towel to "drain" and let cool.
In small bowl, stir sauteed vegetables into sour cream.
Spread mixture over bottom of pasta crust.
Spoon spaghetti sauce over sour cream layer.
At this point, pie can be covered with plastic wrap and foil and refrigerated overnight or frozen.
Bake thawed pie, uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over top and bake additional 10 minutes.
Let stand 5 minutes, cut into wedges and serve.
