Thanksgiving Blessings…

“Not what we have, But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.”
– John Petit-Senn

Enjoying it, really I am!…

So with the economy the way it is and job security worries along with wanting to make some extra money to make up for the losses we had with the 529 accounts for college tuition, I've decided to become a Pampered Chef Consultant. I've been a consultant for about a month now and instead of it being another job to do, I'm actually enjoying myself. I'm becoming passionate about their products as well as having a great time cooking and using all the stuff I got for becoming a consultant, as I cook and try new recipes with my youngest daughter. We've used the large bar pan to make a delicious chicken and vegetable meal. The Turtle Pretzel Candies recipe makes a great holiday snack or hostess gift and is really easy to do in no time at all. Along the way we learned that some recipes aren't really all they're cracked up to be and are more difficult to execute than the photos show them to be – the Candy Cane Brownie Lollipops. I've also been pleasantly surprised at how much interest there is in Pampered Chef and I want to thank everyone who has been supporting me and helping me get my business started. I have Cooking Shows booked all the way through the holidays, but if anyone is interested in hosting a Cooking Show in the new year, just email me.



Happy Cooking for the Holidays!

Let this be our motto for the next couple months…

“Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.”
– Winston Churchill

Hoping and praying for better days ahead for our country.

Change Has Come to America…

… and their names are Barack Obama and Joe Biden! God Bless America! History has been made – let's celebrate!

THANKFUL… I think!

So as Election Day approaches and we wait to see what direction the financial situation of this country goes in, we all need to have a good laugh to get us through. It's tradition in our family to get together for Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house – this year we decided to do an invitation to let the family know what time dinner would be served. I think the invite says it all! Enjoy – laughter truly is the best medicine when times are tough.

Trick or Treat?…

The cutest little puppy dog came trick or treating to our house on Halloween. She was so cute and had no idea what was going on, and kept looking at us as if to say "What in the world are these people getting all excited about? And why are they taking so many pictures of me!"
