There are many things in my life, that are very negative, that I could choose to focus on....but today I choose GRATITUDE, for my amazing teenage children and the rest of my family, For wonderful gracious friends who have been by my side, To the various Design Teams who chose me to participate and share my creativity and who have been my life line at times. And to you who so faithfully pop in and leave me such wonderful words of encouragement.
But most of all I am Thankful that God has granted me one more day to enjoy this beautiful thing called life...in all it's ups and down!! Today, I AM THANKFUL!!
Here's hoping my American friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving....enjoying the smorgasbord....but to everyone....here and abroad....take time to reflect on all you have to be THANKFUL for and do share them with me....I would love to hear them!!
I will share this with you....my New Orleans Casserole recipe...it was one of my beloved Father in Laws favorite dishes....
Take 5-7 red potatoes, cut up and boil till soft to poke. Pour out water and mash as if your were making Mashed potatoes, with butter, milk, salt and pepper, but make it a CHUNKY mash. Cook up some bacon, I use 4 pieces, cut up and add. 14 oz of Sour Cream, 1/2 cup of Cheddar/Monterey Jack shredded cheese, 4 scallions, diced...mainly the white part. Mix it all together, place in a casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees, till heated through....sprinkle with additional shredded cheese........OH THE AMAZINGNESS!!
Hoping everyone one has a wonderful day!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Enjoy them.
I am thankful for my family above all but I'm also thankful for my job which keeps me in my warm home with plenty to eat and share, and even a little left over to buy inky goodness. I'm also thankful that there are kind and generous folks that openly share ideas on how to use all that inky goodness! Thanks Lynne!
Have to try your New Orleans dish. Do you peel your red potatoes? Have a great day!

Great post! I'm thankful that you shared your recipe (among other things). I'm thankful for so many things this year, one of them is the cool network of crafters I've met in cyberville.
Glad that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Lynne. I hope that your upcoming holidays are all joyous. :)
