Great Websites!

In the Deseret Book Spring catalog, there are two websites we thought were worth sharing.

http://www.ldswhy.com/

The first one is about a book called "Why? Powerful Answers and Practical Reasons for Living LDS Standards". If you have teenagers in your home or your calling is with the youth, this is a great tool. You will find hundreds of answers that reinforce the teachings found in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet.

The second link is a wonderful tool for teachers. $4.99/month subsription to the entire Deseret Book online library. LDS.org, BYU.edu, CES and more! One month free trial offered!

Recipe of the Month

FRUITY GRILLED CHICKEN
Grilled chicken and tropical fruits seasoned with a citrusy curry sauce give this colorful salad plenty of kid appeal. It makes a great lunch or a light dinner as is, or you can create a heartier meal by serving the meat and fruit with steamed rice and side salads.
Ingredients
1 (14-ounce) can regular or light coconut milk
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste, or more to taste
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 cups salad greens

Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, orange zest, and orange juice and reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture in a separate container. In a ziplock bag, toss together the chicken breast chunks and half of the marinade from the bowl. Toss the fruit and the remaining marinade in another ziplock bag. Let the food marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
2. Prepare a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to medium-high, and oil the grates. Thread the chicken and fruit pieces onto separate skewers.Grill the skewered chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Grill the fruit skewers for 2 minutes per side, turning once, or until you have visible grill marks. Remove the meat and fruit from the skewers and serve them over salad greens drizzled with the reserved marinade. Serves 4
