Show your thankfulness

Today's blog is about different ways to show your thanks that are little to no cost, but will surely brighten someone's day.  1. I have the most amazing friends by far! They are always supportive, always lend a listening ear, enjoy good laughs & memories with, they don't judge me, and lift me up when I am down. For this reason I decided to show my thanks to one of my really good true friends this Thanksgiving season. As was were having a brief conversation the other day I found out that her husband has to work on Thanksgiving & so she was not planning on making any special Thanksgiving meal for her & her kids, that got me thinking - she deserves to take a break as she is one of the hardest working moms I know always making sure everyone else is taken care of before herself. So I teamed up with my future sister-in-law and we decided to make prepare her a Thanksgiving meal so all our friend has to do is throw it in the oven on Thanksgiving & it would be all ready to go.

Here is what we decided to make for their Thanksgiving meal 

Cranberry Deer Roast

Sweet Potato Casserole

Peach Bread Pudding (recipe below)

Loaf of pull apart bread

Sugar snap peas

Sparkling apple wine

The prepared meal was nothing grand, but it was a small way to show my thanks to one of my friends. My kids & I dropped it off at her house along with this note we included on it.

Peach Bread Pudding

Cream 1 stick butter & 1 c sugar

Add 4 eggs (beat in one at a time)

Stir in 1 c. drained pineapple (or can use fresh or canned peaches)

Fold in 5 slices white bread chopped in small cubes

Pour into greased 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish & bake @ 350 for 45 mins. – 1 hr.

Serves 6-8

2. Make or send a card (this one happens to be from my amazing oldest boy :)

3. Maybe you have loved ones that live far away & you forgot to get a card & send it out on time. No worries you can still let everyone know how much they mean to you via social media. It may not be something they can hold, or a keepsake for say, but it will still make them feel special, thought of & bring a smile to their face. Here I let everyone know on my business page how much they mean to me & how I appreciate their support.
