Children Sang as They Walked

Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked.
Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked.
They washed at streams and worked and played.Sundays they camped and read and prayed.
Week after week, they sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked and walked.

Little Pioneer Children (Sung as a round)

1. ① Little pioneer children gath’ring berries for food;
② See the pioneer children hunting chips for wood.
③ Gladly helping each other, merry and happy were they,
④ Walking along, moving along, on their way.

2. ① Hear the pioneer children singing all the day.
② See the pioneer children; there’s still time for play.
③ Often singing and dancing, merry and happy were they,
④ Walking along, moving along, on their way.

To Be a Pioneer

1. You don’t have to push a handcart,
Leave your fam’ly dear,
Or walk a thousand miles or more
To be a pioneer!

2. You do need to have great courage,
Faith to conquer fear,
And work with might for a cause that’s right
To be a pioneer!

The Oxcart

Here comes the oxcart, oh, how slow!
It’s pulled by an ox, of course, you know. Page 3
The wooden wheels creak as they roll along.
Creak, creak, creak, creak is their song.

The Handcart Song

When pioneers moved to the West,
With courage strong they met the test.
They pushed their handcarts all day long,
And as they pushed they sang this song:
For some must push and some must pull,
As we go marching up the hill;
So merrily on our way we go
Until we reach the Valley-o.

Whenever I Think About Pioneers

1. (Boys) Whenever I think about pioneers,
I think of brave women and men.
I like to remember that children came, too;
Iwould like to have been a child then.

2. (Girls) Yes, I’d like to have learned to play the games they played
And joined them in their fun.
And I’d like to have slept under bright starry skies
When each day’s measured journey was done.

3. (Boys)* I would like to have sung with the pioneers
When voices rang out loud and strong,
“Hosanna, Hosanna, we’ve found our new home,”
Joy and thankfulness filling their song.

4. (Girls)* I would like to have sung with all the pioneers,
With voices loud and strong,
“Hosanna, Hosanna, we’ve found our new home,”
Joy and thankfulness filling their song.

Fish Tacos

If you're in a hurry, you can buy tortilla-encrusted frozen tilapia from Costco instead of marinating the tilapia.

Main Ingredients
8-12 pieces of tilapia

Marinade Ingredients
4 garlic cloves
1 cup fresh parsley
1-2 lemons
1 cup olive oil
1/2-1 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce Ingredients
1/2 cup plain yogurt
4 tablespoons lime juice
6 tablespoons chopped cilantro
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons water

For Serving 
Lime wedges Cilantro Salsa Corn tortillas

Directions
1. Combine the marinade ingredients, cover fish in it, and marinate for 30 minutes.

2. Grill on high for 3-5 minutes on each side until fish flakes .

3. Combine sauce ingredients.

4. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro, salsa, and corn tortillas

Chicken Tikka Masala

 This is a huge family favorite. It takes a bit of planning to do the marinade, but the actual cooking time is short, and it's a crowd pleaser! Even though the ingredients may look pretty spicy, even our little children love this recipe. This can be made up to one day in advance and reheated on the stove.

 Main Ingredients 
12 boneless skinless chicken breasts (serves about 18)

Marinade Ingredients *If you double this recipe, double the chicken and sauce but don't double the marinade.)
2 cups plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (or 2 teaspoons ground ginger)
2 teaspoons salt

Sauce Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, thoroughly seeded and finely chopped (optional)
8 teaspoons ground cumin
8 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
4 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
3 cups cream

Garnishes for serving
Fresh cilantro Plain yogurt or sour cream


Directions
1. Combine all marinade ingredients, then pour over chicken and refrigerate in a plastic bag or reusable plas- tic container for at least an hour (or up to 8-10 hours).

2. Grill or cook chicken and discard marinade.

3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Add cumin, paprika, and salt.

4. Stir in tomato sauce and cream.

5. Simmer on low until sauce thickens (about 20 minutes).

6. Add the grilled chicken into the mix and simmer for10 more minutes.

7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a little plain yogurt or sour cream.

Zucchini Lasagne

• 4 large zucchini
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 24 ounces pasta sauce
• 15 ounce ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded parmesan regianno
• 1 ½ cups mozzarella
• 1 egg
• salt and pepper
• small handful fresh parsley and basil , chopped

Directions:
1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef with onion. Then add in 1 jar of tomato sauce.

2. While the meat is cooking, mix ricotta cheese with eggs, parmesan cheese, and oregano in a mixing bowl.

3. Spread 1 cup of red sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Arrange oven-ready uncooked zucchini noodles on top of pasta sauce in the bottom of the pan. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.

4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese on top of the ricotta cheese layer. Spread half of the meat-and-sauce mixture on that (then a layer of sliced zucchini if you like). Put on another layer of zucchini noodles on top.

5. Repeat with the other half of the ricotta cheese mixture, another 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and the rest of the sauce and meat from the skillet (then another optional layer of sliced zucchini).

6. Do a final layer or noodles and spread the second jar of sauce on top of the noodles.

7. Finally, spread the last cup of shredded cheese on top. 8. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 40 minutes, covered with foil. Take off foil and cook for about 15 more minutes.

FOR THE SALAD

2 heads iceberg lettuce, chopped

8 oz. fluid baby spinach, washed and dried 

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 whole hard boiled eggs, chopped

16 oz. bacon, cooked and chopped

4 whole tomatoes, chopped

1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced

8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated

1 10-ounce bag of frozen peas, partially thawed

FOR THE DRESSING

1/2 c. mayonnaise

1/2 c. sour cream

1 tbsp. sugar (more to taste)

Chopped fresh dill, for topping

Directions

In a clear glass bowl, layer the salad ingredients in order starting with the lettuce, concentrating the ingredients around the perimeter of the bowl and filling in the center with lettuce, if needed. End with the layer of peas.
