Greetings!
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I have been contemplating all that I have to be thankful for this year. It's been a year full of turmoil and change. (Thanks for that word Obama!) To say the least it has been a challenge to think of things to be thankful for, but once I got going, I found I had quite a list! One of the items that placed highest on my list was all my clients. Thank you all so much for choosing my services from among the many therapists out there. I do appreciate your business!
See you soon! |

Happy Thanksgiving
I had originally thought about writing more about healthy eating here - but lets face it - it is Thanksgiving! So instead I decided to include a recipe that my husband and I have been enjoying for a while now. I hope you like it as well!
Any Veggie Casserole:
- 12 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped (so much for healthy!)
- 1 1/2 Cups garlic croutons
- 1 lb. fresh, steamed vegetables (frozen work as well): asparagus, carrots, potatoes, green beans, parsnips, cabbage or whatever you have!
- 4 hard cooked eggs, sliced
- 1 cup thin white sauce (see the following recipe)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Prepare ahead - fry the bacon, boil the eggs and steam the vegetables. Start the white sauce.
In a 9x9 shallow baking dish - arrange the croutons, sliced eggs and vegetables in layers. (I recommend the eggs on top of the croutons, so they do not get rubbery.) Top with sauce. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese. Bake at 375 degrees until bubbly, about 45 minutes.
White sauce:
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 1 cup of milk
- dash salt and pepper
Melt butter over low heat. Off Heat - blend in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until sauce thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer 2 to 3 minutes to remove floury taste. |
