THOUGHT FOR TODAY
And chicken soup is widely known to be good for life.
Carl Sagen
This daughter in law’s birthday is another one of my long distance celebrations, but as usual a card has gone out in the mail with lots of love and birthday wishes for a happy day !
I have read many of the books in the Chicken Soup series and I also love homemade Chicken Soup so I will definitely be celebrating today!
It’s Saturday and my day to cook for the weekend. On the menu is:
Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Makes 4 servings
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. rubbed sage
1/2 tsp. pepper
1.5 lb pork tenderloin
1 tsp butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 3/4 tsp. Dijon mustard
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix seasonings, sprinkle over pork. In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat, brown tenderloin on all sides. Transfer to a foil lined pan. Roast 10 minutes.
Meanwhile for glaze, in same skillet, mix syrup, vinegar and mustard, bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Cook and stir until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Brush 1 Tbsp. glaze over pork, continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145 degrees, brushing halfway through with remaining glaze. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
I’ll be having some mashed pototoes and applesauce with mine.
We’ll be lucky to see 40 degrees here today and have a chance of more rain which will be changing to snow later tonight.
Today I’m thankful for all the gifts I have in my life. That is what I call my blessings. It seems impossible to count all of them in one day. The more you are thankful for something, the more you have.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
Food feeds both the body and soul. There are clear reasons to eat a balanced diet, there are also reasons to cling to your mom’s secret chicken noodle soup recipe when you’re sick.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

ADVICE FOR TODAY
Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others, each batch has its own characteristics and it needs time to simmer reach full flavor.

Happy Birthday to DDIL#1! Chicken soup is good for you and I love it. Love the quote about the soup!
Happy Birthday blessings to your DDIL#1. What a gorgeous smile has she!
I loved the 'Chicken Soup' books and remember being so disappointed when I there were no more editions available at our public library. It's turning cold here tonight, so I'm going to reheat the last of the 'Chicken Detox' soup I made last weekend.
Sweet dreams now, and have yourself a happy Sunday morning!
Happy :) Birthday!!
