Good Food Gratitude


tonight i started off this gratitude endeavor right. my dearest fixed me a delicious meal--light, because i was feeling a bit crowded after eating earlier in the afternoon. it's got almonds, a greens mix, romas, and our dehydrated home-grown tomatoes. and the asparagus was perfect.

a simple, well-prepared meal is often the highlight of my day, and i always feel grateful, because i rarely am responsible for fixing it.

i am grateful that my husband is one of those people who understand naturally that food is a blessing to us and that it is one of the most potent ways to show love for others. i am almost as grateful that he takes joy in doing so, and makes food for our family that is not only healthy and usually whole, but with a flourish that speaks to his inner, indefatigable style and natural elegance.
