~*Gratitude Tuesday*~

As my ongoing gratitude for the week today I am grateful for food.
I am grateful when my pantry has all I need to make a meal for my family.
I am grateful when I am in the kitchen slicing and chopping, stirring and tasting....feeding my family.
For when I am covered in flour as I make homemade bread, come up with a new recipe for cupcakes, or am simmering a big pot of spaghetti sauce.
For all of the bounty to choose from in fresh fruits and vegetables, and for the hands that grow them so I may bring them home to my family
For the aromas that come from the kitchen and fill my home.
For the fact that I have a family to cook for. For friends to cook for.
That I am blessed to be a good cook like my mother was...and have so many happy memories in her kitchen cooking together and eating together, that she passed down the love for cooking to me.
I am grateful for the stuffed peppers simmering in my crockpot as I type. It means I will feed my family tonight. No one will go to bed hungry. We are blessed.
Today take a moment to feed your soul with *gratitude*.
