Sept 2014 - Recipes, Cranberry Chicken and Earthquake cake

Have you ever been to a recipe exchange?
Have you ever been to one where you actually took a recipe and a dish and came home with great ideas?

It seems like we are asked to bring recipes and treats all of the time especially for church activities but it doesn't seem to actually happen as often as I would like.

I did go to one once that I really loved though, it was at my sweet neighbors house and people brought the recipe and a sample.  Some of my favorite recipes come from that night, so in case she ever reads this  . . . THANKS NIKKI

Here's one from Lorena F, from the Regal Country Ward.

Cranberry Chicken
6-8 chicken breasts or 12-14 chicken tenders
1 bottle of French salad dressing (16 oz.)
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce (16 oz)
Mix dressing, cranberries and soup mix, pour over chicken.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-45 minutes if chicken is thawed, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes if it is frozen.  Serve over rice.
