Food Pantry Challenge Week #5

By -
We kicked this off a few weeks ago - the challenge info is here

WHAT AN AWESOME START SO FAR!!! 63 baby items were reported as donated last week to their local pantry! Week #2 was 167 dental items reported to me! Week #3 was 153 shampoo and comb items reported! The last week was a tad low: 44 items reported in. The weekly winner has been emailed, and we are off to week #5!

That makes a total of 424 items so far~!

These week's focus :
Donate before Sunday, April 10th: Children's items! Think juice boxes, animal crackers, microwave popcorn, books, fruit Roll Ups.

**I am going to talk to my store manager and see if I can get a case deal on Animal Crackers. The poor kids are the ones that are really getting the short end of the stick in this tragic time, let's really make it a better week!
=)

In Tupperware, I teach my team that A Little, Often, Equals Much. When everyone helps a little bit, it adds up to an amazing outcome that more than rewards your heart. This is no different a concept AND teaches a great lesson to our children.
=)

Here is my challenge to you:
1) Donate items of the week to your local pantry/shelter.
2) Reply to this thread of the week as a check in - that you did, and how many items you donated. (or email me directly like most of you have been @ tupqueen1@aol.com)
3) I will have a weekly gift...drawn for from the people that reply. Each item you donate gets you a chance at that weekly drawing.
4) Share this mission on YOUR blogs - let's really pay this forward and make an impact!

=)

Thank You for making a difference!!!!

Hugs~

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking! Today's recipe idea comes from Book Cooking. net Ingredients 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter, softened 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar 2 egg yolks 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
