Cousin's Conference

May 2. 2014 Lauri Smith Stevenson, Brenda Thorsted Bingham, and Carolyn Thorsted Turner
Closing session of Women's Conference at BYU.  It was fun to be together for a couple of days and enjoy the session's as well as have dinner together the night before with Rosemarie Smith, Janine Hiatt Mashburn, Anita Warner Hiatt, and at our house (Kerrry and Lauri Smith Stevenson.)  Why have we waited so long to start doing this together I am not sure but I hope we can continue to make this an annual event and have even more cousins participate.

Mini reunion in Lehi

(top row left to right: Angela, Lauri, Rosemarie.  Bottom row left to right: Anita, Kaitlyn, Carolyn, Brenda, Sheila.)

Yesterday, 20 August 2013, I had the pleasure of hosting a small Hiatt reunion at my new home in Lehi Utah. Angela had been unable to attend the big reunion in Paul earlier this year.  When I learned that she was coming to bring her two youngest to BYU for fall semester I decided to try and get as many of the local female cousins together for lunch.  It was fun to be together and just visit.  They asked me to share the recipes that I made so here they are. I forgot to serve the cake before Anita, Angela, and Kaitlyn left, sorry ladies.

Strawberry Lemonade
1 c. country time lemonade
2 c. cold water
2 c. sprite (more if desired)
46 oz. can pineapple


Zuppa Toscano
1½ Mild or Medium Italian sausage
2 medium potatoes, cut in half lengthwise, and then cut into 1/4" slices
3/4 c. onions, diced
6 slices bacon
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 c. kale leaves, chopped
2 cans chicken broth
1 qt. water
1 c. heavy whipping cream


Cook Italian sausage until brown, drain on a paper towel to remove fat.   Cook bacon and remove from pan, place on paper towel as well, crumble when cool. Place onions in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are almost clear.  Add garlic to the onions and cook an additional 1-minute. Add chicken broth, water, and potatoes, simmer 15 minutes. Add crumbled bacon, sausage, kale, and cream. Simmer 4 minutes and serve.

Grilled Chicken and Roasted Garlic Pizza
1 lb. pizza dough
1 T butter
8 cloves roasted garlic
2 T flour
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. half and half
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 c. grilled chicken breast, cut into cubes
1/4-1/2 c. red onion, diced small
1 c. Mozzarella cheese
1 t fresh thyme (optional)
1/2 t oregano (optional)
fresh basil, chiffonade
1 t fresh Rosemary (or more to taste)

Preheat oven to 450.  On baking pan place cornmeal to ease in spreading.  Melt butter, saute garlic for a minute, and flour and mix well.  Whisk in milk and half and half.  Cook until mixture thickens add the pepper and Parmesan. Spread the sauce on the dough, top with onion, chicken, cheese and Rosemary if using.  Feta cheese can also be added if desired.  Bake approx. 18 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted sprinkle with remaining desired herbs.


Cinnamon Roll Cake
Cake:
3 c. flour
1/4 t salt
1 c. sugar
4 t baking powder
1 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 t cinnamon

Topping:
1 c. butter softened
1 c. brown sugar
2 T flour
1 T cinnamon

Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
5 T milk
1 t vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350. For the cake mix everything together with the exception of the butter.  Slowly stir in the butter and pour into and greased 9x13 pan.  For the topping, mix all of ingredients together well, drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife.  Bake for 30-32 mins. Let cake cool a little and then pour the glaze evenly across the top.

Hiatt Reunion 2013 Paul Idaho

Another reunion is in the books.  Over the last few reunions we have failed to take pictures of family groups like we used to in the past.  Something we need to do again in the future.  Our numbers continue to get smaller and smaller.  The next reunion will be held in Lindon Utah and will be hosted by Anita and her family so plan on the last Saturday in June of 2015.  Let's try and have a really good turn out for it.  Special thanks to Louise, Steve, Mike, Rosie, Janet and Christine for all of the work to put this together.  And as always a special thanks to Boyd for his hard work on our behalf of all of us for the genealogical work he does on our family lines.  It was great to see everyone and to visit and catch up with one another.
