I keep calling it that. I know it’s an Instant…
Just in case I don’t make it to the computer tomorrow, I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful holiday today. I know you’re asking, what could possibly keep me from the computer tomorrow? Well, it could be the afternoon game of kickball we have planned with a group of friends, or the fabulous dinner that my pal Lindsay has set up for us…
Here is what we are having:
Snacks/Finger Foods
Meal
Whoa! Now that’s what I call a feast! Lindsay has been kind enough to take in all of her friends that will be hanging around for the holiday. I think there’s 12 of us. What a pal!
I’m hoping to feel better by tomorrow…I have somehow caught a Thanksgiving holiday flu, or cold, or bug. Whatever you call it, I have it…fever, cough, congestion, aches…it always seems to happen during vacation time, doesn’t it?!
Finally, here’s a quick and easy recipe for those post-Thanksgiving days when you don’t really feel like cooking. My friend Leti shared this recipe with us, and I’m not sure where she found it, but I’m glad she did. It’s so flavorful and super-quick.
Southwestern Black Bean Soup
Cook bell pepper in olive oil over medium heat. Stir in chili powder and cook 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, corn, beans, cilantro, broth and water. Simmer, covered, 15 minutes or until heated through.
Makes 4 servings.

Happy Thanksgiving! Years ago, it used to be tradition for my brother and his friends to play touch football after dinner. And every year, the tradition ended up with someone going to the Emergency Room…..
