Today is gymnastics/ grocery day. I finally decided what I am making for Supper Club.
Supper Club is the Marriage/Bible Study Small group that we are attending twice a month at our new church, Valley Fellowship. The small group isn’t very small; 12 or so couples. Every other week 2 couples prepare a meal for everyone.
The couple who’s helping us with the meal is bringing Chicken Alfredo and bread. Here is what I am bringing.. hopefully it will turn out.

Scrape the fruit mixture into the slow cooker. Cook at high temperature until the fruit is bubbly, about 4 hours.
