As many of us (in the U.S.) spend the next few days shopping, cooking and eating; I hope that we are each able to take a few moments this week to reflect on the pretty amazing list of things in our lives to be thankful for. In a culture that is built on always wanting more, let’s push back for a moment and assess the incredible abundance that is present in most of our lives.
This week I plan to step away from the computer, put away my phone, and focus on the beautiful little details of real life. I want to relish in the pleasure of cooking… not to take photos of it, but to simply feed my family delicious food. I’m going to embrace the joy of doing dishes… being thankful for dishes to wash, warm water to clean them with, and an able body with which to work.
I hope you are able to find a long list of things this week to be thankful for as well.
This set of cookies was made with my Gingerbread Cookie Recipe, and decorated with Royal Icing.
*Supply note- Assorted plaque shaped cutters from Copper Gifts, with the exception of the “give thanks” shape, which was a gift from a friend.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
Psalm 107:1
i was googling thanksgiving images and your cookies showed up, amidst a bunch of turkeys, and i had to stop by and say how beautiful they are. so wonderful.
Those are very elegant and my favorite ones are the leaves with the swirls. Great work! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love you!

Thank you for the beautiful post. I usually hate doing the dishes…but you’re right- in some parts of the world, food supplies are low and clean water is scarce. We have so much to be grateful for. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day 🙂
Thank you for sharing yourself and your talent in your blog!

Gracias. Aunque aquí en Chile no celebramos Thanks Giving, me uno a la acción de gracias, sobre todo para agradecer por tener energía y salud para cocinar , que es lo que más me gusta hacer. I love to be a Chef, too.. .
