So Im sitting here this evening, just put a roast on for dinner, making our grocery list for Thanksgiving and thinking of all the blessings in my life. For some reason, food just makes me so thankful! Anyway, I wanted to take a moment and tell you about this amazing guy in my life and how thankful I am for him... This morning, before Jonathan left for work, I asked him what was most important to him to eat on Thanksgiving, besides turkey, and he said, candied yams, the ones you always make, I loovveee those, theyre my favorite! The reason I asked him is because he doesnt eat many vegetables and often gets left picking at meals where everyone elses favorite choices, including mine, are made by the truckload. Its very important to me that he gets to eat what he wants on Thanksgiving, too! I dont think its possible to put into words how much that means to me... My heart melted when he said that this morning, it just turned to butter on a warm skillet right there. Heres this amazing guy, a very, very selective eater, who has been a challenge to cook for over the past 3 1/2 years, and he loves my Grandmas candied yams the most! You see, the candied yams I make arent just any candied yams, theyre my Grandma Marys recipe. Always made with lots of love and never from a can. She taught my sister and I, with some help from our dad, how to make those yams and while they may not mean anything to Rachael Ray or Emeril Lagasse, they are, by far, my favorite Thanksgiving dish. Theyre my favorite for many reasons, but those reasons dont matter. What matters is that the most important person in my life loves them, too! Could I be any more blessed? I mean seriously, my life may not be perfect, but I wouldnt have it any other way!
