Cooking and Serving

Leave a comment

A new to me recipe that is good enough to prepare again. 
Yes. For that, I am giving thanks today. 

Especially when the ingredients are good for you, like brussel sprouts! 
Are you interested? 

It’s a pretty dish cooking, don’t you think?
It does have a suggested ingredient that my beloved cannot abide – Feta Cheese. 
So, at serving time I only added the Feta to my serving. 

1 Pound Brussels Sprouts
2/3 Cup Fresh Cranberries
1/3 Cup Feta Cheese
1/3 Cup Pecans
1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar    (I used raspberry Balsamic Vinegar)
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

You can get the directions at

If you try the recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.  It’s really festive looking – for the holidays, you know.

The Daily Stuff

Leave a comment

For Inspiration.
When it comes and even when it doesn’t . . . we give thanks. 

For pictures. For technology in this time that transmits them for miles and miles in SECONDS.

For love. For laughter and the folks that bring it.

For Scripture that speaks loud and clear and also softly and comfortingly. 
For pens to write notes in the margins of the books you are reading.
For prayer journals holding answers and requests yet to be received.

I think you get the idea – the daily stuff.

I’ll Take That

Roots in a glass.
Yep. That’s one of the things for which I am giving thanks today.

I harvested the last of my basil last week or possibly the week before, brought it into the kitchen, and deposited the few stems in a glass jar.  Many years ago in a Friend’s kitchen, I admired her basil growing beautifully green and healthy in a glass.
Later I tried it too — but failed.

But this time I have ROOTS!

Roots in a glass.  More than roots, I have leaves! Albeit, I do not have as many leaves, or are they as beautiful as Carolyn’s but perhaps with time, sunshine, and water more will grow. 

For now, I have these and I am grateful. 

3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
    bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
    and they prosper in all they do.  Psalm 1 (source)

I’ll take that!

Psalm 1 is speaking of something more than my roots in a glass so may I encourage you to read it in context.
