Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.....

...wishing you a warm, loving, safe and healthy holiday celebration, spending it just as you would design....  Should this time find you in circumstances not quite as you would have "scripted", may you be able to make the best out of it and memorable anyway.... 

If you aren't able to be with family for any number of reasons this year (as is the case for Paul and I), I hope you can reflect on your many blessings -- perhaps consider donating time with others who may be especially lonely - perhaps in assisted living, nursing homes or hospitals.  Maybe consider dropping by a local food bank and offering to fill in for a volunteer there to give them a treat...  I've found that it helps to reach out to others.  When you can see the light in their eyes that you know you helped to put there, it can make your day the best ever so far!

If you're looking for last-minute, healthy menu ideas, you'll find them in the SEASONAL section! 

I'm spending this holiday counting blessings, enjoying special meal with Paul - perhaps out on deck, it'll be that warm!   We plan to take a long walk and appreciate this lovely place we are grateful to call home.  Also, I'll be reviewing notes to build content in this brand new blog and for my upcoming book on organic cooking on a shoestring.  I hope what I'm doing here is of help and interest to you!
