Thank you for the beautiful comment-- I am very appreciative. Speaking of appreciation, I am grateful for this blog community. As I have made the difficult transition from Princeton's EDU (where I'm surrounded by others who know what I'm going through and can relate on multiple levels) to the 'real world' (virtually no community support), I have struggled to stay motivated and inspired. However, the blog community has filled that void and I am eternally grateful. It's ok to get frustrated-- you're only normal! But I think it's wonderful that you can recognize and reevaluate your attitude. You are a rock star, don't ever forget it. Have a pleasant day, lovely lady <3 becca xo Good morning, lovely!

I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I have been reading your blog for a couple of months now and I really enjoy your positivity. Your words are inspiring because even when you get down, there is always a way up. Reading your blog helps me see things clearly and in a more positive manner. Your pictures are lovely and your meals seem pure and healthful, but still full of flavor and intriguing taste. Keep doing what you do best and I will definitely keep reading. :) Hello!

It fills me up with warmth :) I am, also, incredibly thankful for Cooking. I zone everything out when I'm in my kitchen (although it's my momma's house.. there's no debate in it being MY kitchen). Cooking is one of the best things you can do for your soul. It's magic. Second, I'm most thankful for my family. They are my best friends and have kept me strong. Have a marvelous evening!

Love the Theo's chocolate plug. Made 3 miles from my house here in SEA. Amazing place, endless free samples in the storefront/tour. Only organic/fair-trade bean to bar chocolate in the US I believe. Thankful for the 10+ feet of snow we've gotten in the mountains already. Activate Ski Season! Great friends, family, tasty vittles, music, a very special girl and a rapidly approaching trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Really... too many things. Not thankful for: Kidney Stones Hah!
