Giving thanks

harvest table

Its thanksgiving weekend and the weather is beautiful here in the Maritimes. Spending every afternoon at the beach I have lots to be thankful for. We don't have any other family here besides the four of us (soon to be 5!)  So we keep it pretty simple for holidays.

I made these individual apple crisps for dessert with the apples from our tree. Along with a lentil loaf, roasted brussel sprouts and the usual suspects...mash potatoes and stuffing!

I love stuffing, its my favorite part of holiday meals. This year I used up all the bread bits in my freezer, there were a lot! Threw in some fresh cranberries, apples, a little celery and onion sprinkled with some dried sage. I can't wait for stuffing sandwiches tomorrow!

Sitting around the table together,  this is what I am thankful for at this moment...

My family, our health, the food and water we eat and drink each day, the fresh air I breathe, the moonlit walk I took last night, the warm sunny day spent at the beach, the life inside me that I will get to meet in a week or so.

 Happy Thanksgiving
