I was happy to get a serving of Mom's special stuffing. Then a small serving of mashed potatoes and gravy made my meal complete. I didn't care if about eating anything else - I had my two favorites. Rare treats - real mashed potatoes with homemade turkey gravy - simmered over a low heat and stirred continuously until it was time to put it on the table. Family traditions help make this special day even more so.
The leftovers are all tucked away in the ice-box by now. And the pumpkin pie is long gone. Mom's best stainless steel cookware has been lovingly washed - by hand - and put back in the cupboard. The football games are over. All the preparation, all the excellent dishes, and BAM - the feast is over. The day's fun and fellowship remind us what this great holiday is all about - gathering with loved ones. Sharing and giving Thanks.
Eating healthy was somewhat of a challenge today. It is Okay to cheat - every once in a while isn't it? That big scoop of whipped cream on top of that extra large slice of pumpkin pie could probably add an inch to my waistline! And it sure tastes good. How often do we get to enjoy such delicious deserts with the people we value most?
We have so much to be thankful for here in the USA. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Blessing
“Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” Psalms 95:1-2
The next couple days will find many of us hurrying around to gather all the ingredients for another unforgettable Thanksgiving feast. We'll pick up last minute spices. Visit our favorite bakeries for all kinds of delicious goods. Last minute Turkeys and hams will practically fly out of the stores. Some of us will take the easy route and pick up a store-bought pie. And we'll be getting ready to prepare all of our family favorites.
Family tables are decorated with beautiful Thanksgiving decor. Many a table will soon be filled with great food and surrounded with good cheer. Family and friends enjoying this wonderful time of year. Giving Thanks for our countless blessings. We have so much to be grateful for - children to love, families to enjoy, and hopefully - good health.
This Thursday many a foodlover will get out our best stainless steel cookware and whip up delicious sauces, cranberries and vegetables, yams and mashed potatoes, delicious gravy. I'm anxiously awaiting all the fun dishes we get to cook in just a couple of days.
Eating healthy will be a challenge to many of this weekend. The plethora of pies, and goodies, and rich foods will please many a hungry palate. If this Thanksgiving finds you watching your waistline try drinking a tall glass of water before you eat. Some experts suggest eating an apple right before your meal. You'll eat less and feel better later. No worries - your favorite Pumpkin pie will still taste great on Friday! And who can pass up a nice big turkey sandwich made from leftovers while watching all the great football games this weekend?
