Grandpa Sam preparing to serve a mission, Rebecca 2 or 3 years after Art died in a car accident, Sherry about 5. One of my memories about Sam's mother, Rebecca Roberts, was that every day she would take her lunch hour while teaching elementary school, and run home to make roll dough that would rise while she went back to school for the afternoon, and then run home to shape the dough into rolls that she would serve that evening to four young men who were boarding at her home, while they attended BYU.    Rebecca was widowed at the young age of 38 and had four children to raise.    She often worked three jobs to make ends meet--one full time job and two part-time jobs.      I remember her teaching elementary school, caring for the room and board of the four "Y" students, and then working in the evening at J.C. Penney's.    And, let me just add, for many of those years, she cared for her aging Mother, Lettie.      I d...

Dear Children, Most of the important and vital work of women is done in the private and personal confines of the home. Those times when mother has the most power and influence are generally quiet and without much fan fare. Family meal times for instance are one of the most important things we can do to insure the success of our children and protect them from evil. This blog is a dedication to that work and hopefully will help you in your efforts to create family meal times that bring your family together around your family table.

"Though [my grandson] will retain pleasant but fleeting memories of my father, he will have no memory of my mother, who passed away before his birth. Not one of my children has any recollection of my grandparents. If I want my children and grandchildren to know those who still live in my memory, then I must build the bridge between them." —Dennis B. Neuenschwander, "Bridges and Eternal Keepsakes" Here's to building bridges through food!

Katie made Divinity that simply melted in your mouth.    I have never tasted better, or any that even came close.    One big piece of advice.    Never, never attempt to make divinity in rainy, humid weather.    As with any candy making, use a heavy duty saucepan, a good candy thermometer, and a fairly large, good wooden spoon.  Divinity 3 cups of sugar 3/4 cup of Karo syrup 1 cup hot water 4 egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla 2/3 cup of chopped nuts In the saucepan, put 3 cups of sugar; 3/4 cup of Karo syrup; and 1 cup hot water.    Using a candy thermometer, cook over medium heat until the syrup reaches hard ball stage (about 252 on candy thermometer).    While syrup is cooking, (you do not need to stir), beat 4 egg whites (make sure no yolk in those whites)--beat them until they are very stiff.    Be sure and use a free-standing mixer to do this--as you will need your hands later pour th...
