Valentines Day Table Centerpiece

Each year our church, Elm Grove Community Church, puts on a wonderful marriage conference. I love how our congregation is wise enough to invest into the marriages in our community. Every year, I'm in charge of the Caesar Salad and some of the decorating. I usually dress the tables for the amazing food we serve before the conference. If you've never been......attending just for the food would make it worth your trip. You don't have to attend our church to attend the yearly conference. This year, we had around eighty attend the conference and it was a great time.

Here's my ticket:

Our menu this year:

Valentines 2018 Dinner

Filet Mignon 8 oz.
Baked Potatoes (Loaded!)
Caesar Salad
Tossed Salad
Mushroom with Onions and Garlic
Hot Rolls
Angel Food Strawberry Shortcake
Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Table Centerpiece for Love Day: What You'll Need

Glass Vase (Dollar Tree or Dollar Store Kind)

Burlap and Lace Wrap

Heart Beads

Floral Arrangement

Water

Good Friends to Help you Put them Together (Optional, but more fun with friends)

Hot glue the burlap around the vase and put your heart shaped beads in the bottom. The bowls to the side are candy dishes I glued some heart shaped beads on. A cute way to serve candy on Love Day.

Our floral arrangement included: Daisies, Carnations, Fern and Leather. My friends and I arranged them at Forever Yours Florist in Seiling, OK. What a fun time together. Here is the finished center piece. It sat on a square black cloth with a mirror in the center of our dinner tables. I just love pretty things.

You don't have to look very far for heroes in NW Oklahoma. Each local, volunteer, fire department is packed full of them. I will never understand the passion these folks have for risking their lives to save others ... doing it all the best they can with what they got.

Easy Homemade Chicken Stock

Chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings, chicken pot pie: these are just a few things I use my homemade chicken stock in. Making your own stalk is easier than you think, it’s healthier, bolder and making your own saves you a little in the pocket book. I usually make a big batch in the fall and freeze for the coming colder weather. Whenever, I have a recipe that calls for chicken stalk, I defrost and use. What You'll Need: 5 lbs. Chicken Leg Quarters 3 Large Yellow Onions (unpeeled & quartered) 6 Carrots (unpeeled & halved) 4 Celery Stalks (with leaves, cut into thirds 1 Large Head of Garlic (unpeeled cut in half crossways) 2 T.
