Autumn Blessings

"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." ~William Arthur Ward

 

 

 

     This is the wonderful quilt ladder that my son in law made for me!  I am thrilled that I can display 5 quilts at the same time.  I am so appreciative of someone who has skill as a wood worker.

 

We just had family pictures taken.  These are the people I love with all my heart.  They are the people who will be gathered around our Thanksgiving table.  Family is one of my best blessings!

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of vegetable recipes that came from the Costco Connection Magazine that I want to try out for Thanksgiving.

 

 

 

 

Parmesan Roasted Baby Carrots

4-5 cups baby carrots

¼ cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

1-2 Tbsp. panko bread crumbs, optional

¾ tsp. salt, more to taste

¼ tsp. black pepper

Chopped parsley, optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with foil.  Spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Place the olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a large zip top bag.  Add the carrots and shake until they are well coated.  Spread carrots onto baking sheet.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender, shaking pan halfway through baking.  Remove from oven and serve immediately.  Top with fresh parsley and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.  Makes 8 servings.

 

 

 

 This is the book I just finished.....Autumn Masquerade.  It's actually three different stories by three different authors.  It was a nice relaxing love story times three.

 

I found these cute little edible turkeys on pinterest.  I just know my grandkids will love them as an appetizer for Thanksgiving!
