Congratulations Bella! From Team JAB 
JABBERS, many of you participated in Bella's Band-Aid Drive a few months back. She collected more than 3,000 "fun" bandages to give to children on the oncology floor and at the clinic at Miami Children's Hospital to brighten up their day. That act of thoughtfulness earned Bella one of this month's "Do the Right Thing" awards given by the City of Miami Police Department. After the ceremony, she was made an Honorary Police Officer and wad recognized for her bravery for being a five time cancer fighter! We are so proud of Bella. Please continue to pray for her and all who are battling cancer.

JAB's Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes
From Team JAB 
We're sharing another turkey day favorite from team JAB. This delicious side is a great complement to the Thanksgiving table.
Boo Zamek, Founder of JustAskBoo
In my family, one of our favorite Thanksgiving side dishes is corn pudding. We love it because it is representative of this holiday, it is sweet, and complements the other sides - not to mention turkey - just right.
Corn Pudding
¼ cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
6 large eggs
2 cups whipping cream
½ cup butter, melted
6 cups white corn kernels
Combine first 4 ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, whipping cream, and butter. Gradually add sugar mixture, whisking until smooth. Stir in the corn. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let stand 5 minutes.
