Hey all of my beautiful followers and visitors I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I wanted to post before Thanksgiving last week; But you may have experienced the time factor squeeze where it takes much longer to make your goodies. Well that is my excuse……..

Sanctuary Kitchen Special

I hope your home has one spot that is a sanctuary for the soul. At times mine has been the kitchen’ I am sure many would call that their sanctuary spot when it comes to having fellowship with family, that quiet moment with a book and tea or coffee in that special breakfast nook or there are those  that find whipping up food, baking, and recipe making as the ultimate elixir. Take the cozy mystery caterer Goldy Bear Schulz for an example here:  

 

Once and awhile when I have the time, I like to read up on trends. On food, I found this PDF guide:What’s Hot Foods trends.

2 items sounded really delicious at the time: Ricotta Pancakes and Regional gravy.

All Recipes Pancakes (Ricotta Pancakes) I had no problem finding quite a few recipes for this one, but “Regional gravy” was not anything the search engine could understand well even though I put in the top cities in Missouri in the topic to search with.

So I have made a couple of gravy offerings I found to fit into a regional niche for my own kitchen: 1. Gravy Recipe 2. Gravy Recipe.

So whether you cook in the kitchen, eat the finished products or do both. Find the way to use you kitchen for a sanctuary this week.   Enjoy!

 

This is for the: Word Press Daily Prompt.

 

Thanksgiving Food

Now I must confess something. I love to cook, but since I have no freedom in my small kitchen, I have decided for the first time we are going out for once. I did have someone invite us over, but because of my brittle asthma, I cannot do it. so probably going out, not my first choice, but I also do not want the dishes and clean up everyone dumps on me.

 I do love to cook, but it is a big struggle to do it unless I have a clean kitchen all to myself. Maybe you are not like that, but I am extremely introverted and do not want to clean up to cook and have them come in and make another mess while I am doing it so I am not going to go there.

So today it is just a mere dream of times past when I had such liberty. I will content myself with the dream of food I would love to do if I had better circumstances.
