Happy Holiday Friends!

Holidays especially Thanksgiving might be a favorite for me, because it gives pause to be thankful for the abundance of Food.  Good food to be specific. All the prep time, flour dusting every counter, the smells, the family and friends getting together over the Good Food. It’s a little glimpse for most other people to see what I feel my kitchen and dining table is like most of the year.  What a blessing to come together over the Harvest, to give thanks, to say a blessing to our Lord who has given us so much.  It feels good, real good.  Sometimes to good and your stomach will be regretting all those spoonful’s you put into your mouth. You feel me? But then there’s Christmas and I’m really grateful that God sent his only Son to be here with us on earth and then wait there’s Easter when he dies for our sins and rises again. Ok so I have several favorites!

I pray you’ll stop and give pause to be thankful for the Good Food in front of you, for that time spent in the kitchen (or being extra thankful to those who spent all that time in the kitchen) creating something wonderful!! I also encourage you to do that more often- a Kitchen Revival- where Good Food is made a priority. Where you’re thankful for that food and how amazing it made you feel while being in the kitchen creating such wonderful, wholesome, nutritious food.

Albeit some may have some extra sugar in it this time of year, but it’s still a creation of yours.

With all the Food talk here are some excellent recipe ideas to add into your Holiday Gatherings!

  • Get Me The Plantain! Stat!

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Today I was removing seeds from a mammoth sunflower because everyone is doing that right now… right? Well, something VERY pokey got me right in the crook of my thumb where it bends. OUCH. I pulled it out and thought, eh, it’ll be fine. A few minutes later it had swollen…

  • I don’t trust next year’s garden.

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I have a confession. I don’t trust next year’s garden. I trust God. I just don’t trust my vegetables to cooperate. Case in point: one year my banana peppers went absolutely gangbusters. We had peppers coming out our ears. The next year? Zip. Zero. Zilch. Gardens are fickle little things. That’s…

  • You do not need 47 bottles under your sink

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Why do we need a different bottle for every single surface in the house? One for the counter. One for the mirror. One for the bathroom. One for the furniture. One for the dishwasher. And one mystery bottle shoved all the way in the back that nobody remembers buying. Your cleaning…

  • The weather changed… bring on the soup

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader The weather is changing around here, especially at night, and boy has it been moody!

Click below to see all my…

  • The Secret My Messy Garden Is Holding

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Our holiday weekend was spent doing what holiday weekends apparently look like around here—processing chickens and canning broth. I found 14 quarts’ worth of broth hiding in the freezer, so I canned all of that just in time to make room for the chickens we processed on Sunday. This was our…

  • What’s taking over your kitchen counters?

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader What is taking over your kitchen counters right now? Zukes? Maters? Beans? Peppers? Herbs? Around here, it is a little bit of everything. The zucchini keeps coming, so we’re making creamy zucchini soup, zucchini spaghetti, chocolate zucchini cake, and shredding plenty for the freezer. The tomatoes are becoming fresh BLTs, roasted…
