What I'm Loving Wednesday

Here it is! Happy Wednesday!


I mean, what is to NOT to love about this one?

I'm loving that it's my Friday! Woohoo ... 4 day weekend :)

I'm loving that the Christmas tree and decorations are going up this weekend! Ho-Ho-Ho!


I'm loving that on Friday I will be snuggled in bed because I have NO reason to join the early-bird, black Friday shoppers before the crack of dawn ...

I'm loving that tomorrow is my favorite holiday of the year ...

I'm loving that we'll be spending it with my family! Can I share a secret? Life gets a whole lot easier once you realize that everyone has a dysfunctional family to some degree, not just you. The trick is to just repeat to yourself over and over that ...


Yet on the other spectrum of things, I try to remember something that doesn't just apply to a stranger or a check-out clerk we mignt meet. It also applies to those we're related to...


Ohhh! I'm loving today because they're all looking forward to my Sweet Potato Casserole again ... YUM!!

Here's the recipe


6 med to large sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
1/2 c milk
1 stick butter, melted
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Mix well; beat with mixer until smooth. Place in baking dish.

Topping:

1/2 c light brown sugar
1/2 c self-rising flour
1/2 stick butter, softened
1 c chopped pecans

Blend brown sugar and flour until grainy with electrix mixer on low. Slowly add butter, keeping mixture grainy. Add pecans, again keeping mixture grainy. Sprinkle over potatoes and bake @ 350 for approx 30 minutes. ENJOY!

I'm loving today for all kinds of delicious AND easy recipes I've found via my BFF, Pinterest too ...

Like Crack Brownies! DE-licious!!


Named so, no doubt due to the addiction :)

And for all the brilliant short-cuts and great ideas I've found on there too. (check my boards)


Love it when I am just scrolling through the 'pins' and have repeated 'ah-ha' moments over something like this ...





Love me some Pinterest!

But what I'm loving most about this Wednesday is that tomorrow is Thanksgiving. A day set aside to give thanks. A day to gather with loved ones and offer thanks for the many, many blessings that we all receive, yet do not deserve. A day to reflect on everything God does for us - every single second of every single day.


So this week, I am defintely loving Wednesday for no other reason than



How about you?

Until later :)
