Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and are serving now!  Thank you to all who protect our freedoms and allow us to be the greatest country on earth.

Birthday celebration ….. and a favorite Christmas music video

 

Today is my hubby’s  b’day. He has been such a blessing to me over the years!

 

He has always been there………sometimes goofy……

 

and fun……..

and sometimes serious…………..

~he has been a great Dad………

to our four amazing children…..

and now is a great “PAPA” ………………      …and the grandkids just love him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reflecting on what a special guy he is, made me think of this song, that he has played a few times as special music at church or nursing homes.

It is a special song with a lot of meaning behind it. It tells the Real meaning of Christmas, and helps us reflect on the years we have had together raising a family. We have had times when we have had plenty and we have had times when we have not. But the special times are those that we share together with the ones we love.

Thanksgiving….

 

Can you believe Thanksgiving is two weeks from today??!! Wow! I need to get planning. WE will be hosting this year since all of the family is near. The last three years we have been guests at our daughters homes for Holiday meals and celebrations. This year we will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner as well as Christmas dinner. I have to wait till after Thanksgiving now to decorate for  Christmas but that is ok,  I love Fall and all of the colors and decorations.

Now onto my planning…..list of food, recipes, table settings, I think my hutch will be empty…oh where do I begin????

 

Well I had better get going, Thanks for stopping by. I so appreciate all of the friends that I have made here, hew and old. I also enjoy your comments and would love to hear what everyone else is doing for the Holidays. Do you host dinner  or are you going to be a guest?? Do you bring a hostess gift? Do you bring your favorite recipe?? I would love to hear about it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A big thank you, a healthy recipe, a sneak peak, and a giveaway!!!

Wow!!! So much going on! It has been a busy couple of weeks. Our daughter, son-in-law  and her family are all moved in, here, just a few minutes away from us. It has been a busy time for them getting all moved in, and Josh starting his new job. It is such a joy to have all of the children and grandchildren close by now. Such a blessing at this thankful time of year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So many things to be thankful for….

First a big thank you to Christine  over at Preferably Prim for the generous giveaway that she hosted and to her cute little daughter for picking my name!!

Included in the package (all the way from Ireland) was a rectangular penny mat, Secondly was this nicely stitched, cute little pinkeep.

And thirdly, a wool candy corn makedo on an antique bobbin with applique cat, pumpkin, moon and stars~ Such a wonderful and generous giveaway. Thank you again Christine. It is so nice to meet such nice people in the blogging world.

I have had several requests for my recipe for minestrone soup. This is such and easy meal and so good for you as well. So easy that my son made this meal for us this week, with only a little verbal help from mom. He also made the corn bread (Jiffy) and brought some to his girlfriend who was feeling a little under the weather. (I guess I did something right raising my children. lol)

Minestrone soup 

(so easy)

Jar of Ragu Chunky mushroom and  green pepper  spaghetti  sauce

1 can each of the following:  be sure to add ALL juice from all cans!!

veg-all, corn, carrots,  peas, French cut green beans, garbanzo beans, red kidney beans (you can also add any and all vegetables that you like. Any leftovers from the fridge,  or frozen- I sometimes add frozen green beans,  along with broccoli or cauliflower

1/2 cup of your favorite pasta- I use :

Here is the simple part-

In a large pan combine all cans  of veggies along with ALL of the juices, half of the sauce and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook to your liking. Add remaining sauce and serve. I always serve with cornbread. Simple jiffy cornbread mix.

The corn muffins and vegetables along with the beans make a complete protein in the body.

Enjoy!!!!
