Well hello there.

It’s been a while.

I’ve been out of commission and out of the kitchen for the past month. I had a little thing done like a new knee installed in my body.  My new knee and I are still getting acquainted. I’m learning how to bend it again and how to walk up steps again. It’s been quite a journey for me with the biggest lesson learning to let go. I’ve had wonderful support from my dear husband, daughters and friends.  Little things like text messages, cards and phone messages to big things like delicious meals made with love, errands runs and visits just to cheer me up have meant SO much.

I’ve missed being in control of my life and my household but most of all being in the kitchen. It would KILL me to watch my family make meals for me without bossing them around! I admit it – I’m a kitchen witch.

Today I ventured back in making a Thanksgiving treat that I will share next week as little gifts of love.

Pumpkin butter!

My Thanksgiving senses are in overload!

Pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, cloves and a little shot of Jack Daniels!

I have a lot to be thankful for this year – my cheerleaders, my caretakers and friends and family.

Oh yeah – and my new knee…

and Thanksgiving in a spoon!
