Thank You

Even though my goal was reached last month, I have continued to bake and cook new recipes. It's too exciting to stop. But, before I post more Autumn flavoured recipes, I wanted to write a post about the 50 recipes over the Summer. 

I know, I know, this post is a month after I finished. I've been busy and haven't found time to sit down and type. But alas, better late than never, right? 

Having a cooking/baking goal for the Summer was exciting for me. I love to cook and bake and adding an element of newness and a rush to finish a goal was an exciting addition. However, it would not have been near as exciting or fun and there is no way I would have finished if it wasn't for all the wonderful friends who came over at least once a week (sometimes more) for meals. Some meals were terrible, others were... different, and some turned out pretty tasty if I do say so myself. 

But the thing I enjoyed most about the 50 Summer Recipes, were the times when my friends gathered around our kitchen table and laughed, talked, told stories, and enjoyed one another. I loved fellowshipping with my friends and being reminded every week of how much God has blessed me in giving me every single one of those people as friends. I truly am blessed. 

And so, to the friends who willingly ate everything I invited them to eat – Damarise, Faith, Megan, Sonya, Matt, Jimmy, Micah, Davey, Janessa, and others who came over – THANK YOU! Thank you for being the best dinner company ever and for always being so appreciative of even the weird meals. You guys are wonderful and I'm so blessed!
