RELAY FOR LIFE
Thank
you to everyone who supported our Relay for Life Team event in July. Our team came in second, out of 55 teams, for most money raised, beating out several large companies. Our team also raised the most money for selling raffle tickets thanks to our very generous prize doners and to all those who clamored for tickets. We also "sold" (for donations) 101 luminary bags. AWESOME!!!
This was our best and most fun Relay event yet!!!!
Thank you!!! - Thank you!!!
Huge Boston Ferns available for adoption.
Free Packing Peanuts available at Daphne's!!!
HELPFUL HINTS
- add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if you want a stronger taste of garlic
- leftover Snickers bars (if possible) from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with a food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummmm!
- heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat until warm. This keeps the crust crispy.
- When you buy a container of cake frosting at the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
