I love Thanksgiving...its the time of year when everyone else is thinking about food and what to cook as much as I do! So I thought I would share a few thoughts, minor ones that float across my brain while in the kitchen: (which is often!)
For Instance: Does anybody else feel like they have found a little piece of buried treasure when they come across a slightly burned, brown edged, wheat thin in the box? They are a dying breed in this world of mass computerized production...yet so enjoyable; I remember thinking when I was younger that you could market the 'not so desirable' wheat thins all together in the same box for people like me :)
...I tried a recipe for roasted brussel sprouts this week... Brussel sprouts seem to be one of those traditional holiday foods that families either grew up eating every year or they never make it to the dinner list. The ones who do eat them yearly always seem to have a secret 'extra yummy' recipe that they never REALLY give out... if anyone would like a new brussel sprout recipe to start a tradition I think I found a pretty good one...it even has bacon which puts it at the top of most guys radar. :)
I have a favorite find this week too: Extra Gum makes a new dessert delights gum that is Mint Chocolate Flavor...so good. Its that sweet tooth craving you are looking for, 15 desserts for only 98 cents!
Long story short...I am so grateful to my God that we are even able to go to the grocery store and pick up whatever whim of food we are after. He is so faithful to us; in an economic year that is not so bright I thank Him for his generous provision and faithfulness to us, without him we are hopeless. I pray this season whether it be sparse or plentiful that we can all thank God for His blessings, whatever they look like in each of our lives.
"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever!" Romans 11:36
