Relief Society Picnic At Dreschel Flats

Tuesday evening we had a fun get together for our annual Relief Society Picnic.  Special thanks to Nancy Lynn for letting us have the picnic in her great backyard. We enjoyed great company and ate some fabulous food! 

Fiesta Wheat and Bean Salad

3 cups cooked wheat berries*

1 can corn drained (I prefer the frozen corn from Costco's- strain corn under hot water to unfreeze)

1 can black beans drained

2 tsp. chili powder

2 tsp. cumin

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 cup oil

1 tsp. salt

orange, red, green peppers diced

1 bunch fresh cilantro diced into big pieces

1 small jalepeno diced

juice of one lime

Combine all ingredients.  Toss well.  Chill.

*Wheat Berries:

  4 cups raw whole wheat

  10 cups water

  1 Tbsp. salt

Spray large crock pot with Pam.  Put ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.  Bag in Ziplock freezer bags (2-3 cups each) to freeze smaller quantities.
