Giving Thanks

I would be a poor excuse for a food blogger (and let’s face it, most of the time that’s true) if I didn’t say a few words on the one day a year solely devoted to eating – Thanksgiving.  Sometimes it seems like the true meaning of this day has been lost.  The concept is simple: give thanks.  The gluttonous amount of food that we have come to associate with Thanksgiving is really just a byproduct of every family’s innate desire to feed as a way of giving comfort and showing love.  Whether you spent today with your family, friends or loved ones, I hope that at some point you took a moment to think of the things for which you are truly thankful. I, for one, have too many things in my life that I am thankful for to list in this post.  I have a wonderful husband, fantastic friends, and a family that means the world to me.  Without veering into areas that are beyond the scope of this blog, I will end by saying that every day is a blessing, and I hope to remember and appreciate that as often as possible. I am grateful for each and every one of you who has taken the time to visit and read this blog, and I hope that the love with which my recipes are made finds its way from my family to yours!
