Storm season

As storms were ripping through the area east of Norman this afternoon I was enjoying a SmoothieKing courtesy of my sweet friend Michelle. We were fortunate to miss the brunt of the brutal weather but the experience served to remind me of how blessed I am in so many ways: with great parents, great sisters, wonderful family all around, awesome friends and an incredible husband and daughter. I'm also blessed with good health and decent ingenuity in the kitchen. I'm getting excited about some of the options I have available for pureed pleasures. Tonight I made some pureed black beans with garlic and cumin. It's soooo good and it's calling my name again. I'm also looking forward to a repeat performance sometime soon of the cheese souffle Jason whipped up for my Mother's Day dinner. I almost feel bad cause there was nothing sacrificial about eating it!

I goes to show that a little determination, some resourcefulness and the support of people who love you can make the impossible possible.
