Gratitude

Just a short note to wish my famly and friends a Happy Thanksgiving!  We're off to Escondido today to spend the day with Steve's family. As I sit here and write this note, I think of all the things that God has given me and how grateful I am for everything that I have been given. A while back I started a gratitude journal. This is such a great way to appreciate all the little things in our lives. I haven't written in my gratitude journal in a long time, but I'm going to start again.  As I get older, I realize how important it is to be thankful for everything I have, and not to wish for things that others have.  I'm lucky that I don't have to make a turkey today!  I did make some Artichoke Dip. My notes on my recipe card say "Yummy!"  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Here is the recipe.

Artichoke Dip

1 cup sour cream

1 cup Best Food's Mayonnaise

1 cup fresh parmesan cheese

2 cans quartered artichokes, drained

3-5 cloves of garlic

Round loaf of sourdough bread, hallowed out

In a processor, blend all ingredients except 1 can of artichokes, then add can and pulse so remaining artichokes stay a small chunk size.  Place in bread bowl and bake for 1.5 hours at 275 completely wrapped in foil on a cookie sheet.  Enjoy with bread and/or tortilla chips. 

Warning: This is not low in calories, but delicious!
