Dishing Up the Dirt

I Am Thankful

November 27, 2014

Andrea Kale Harvest August

This year I am thankful for all of the farmers around the world who work so hard to grow food for their communities.

I am thankful for all of our CSA members who put their faith in us to provide food for their families all season long. We are forever grateful for you.

I am thankful for our small community and all the the wonderful people we’ve gotten to know over the past couple of seasons. We live in such a special place and we are so lucky to call Parkdale, Oregon home.

I am thankful for the amazing chefs and restaurant owners who support Tumbleweed Farm and put us on their menus.

I am thankful for our loyal customers who show up at every farmers market rain or shine to buy vegetables from us. You guys rule!

I am thankful for our families. Their unconditional love and support means more to Taylor and me than they will ever know. We are truly blessed.

I am thankful for all of my loyal readers for rooting us on, cooking our recipes and for all of the lovely comments and emails. I wouldn’t continue to blog if it weren’t for all of you amazing people.

Lastly, I am thankful for the wonderful home we get to spend Thanksgiving in. Taylor and I will be surrounded by family and friends enjoying a delicious meal prepared with a lot of love and laughter.

I hope wherever you all are today that you get to enjoy a nourishing meal with others.

Happy Thanksgiving! XO

    I just made the almond butter cups and becAuse you got me listening to SERIAL, I totally forgot the salt and coconut oil, the latter of which didn’t seem to matter., but I would have liked to taste with the salt. The filling was so good I was eating it off the spoon alone! Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us and all those amazing recipes!

      haha! I’m SO happy you’re listening to Serial! I’m happy you made the pumpkin cups (even though Serial had you too distracted to add a few things!!!) Glad they turned out regardless.

    What a wonderful post! I’m from Oz and we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but I wish we did. It seems like a great way to stop and reflect on the year and be grateful for what we are blessed to have in our lives. Plus all the pumpkin recipes that come out of the US at this time of year look amazing 🙂

    And we are thankful for your unending energy and consistently good recipes that make it seem as if every day is a wonderful day to cook and enjoy good food (from a reluctant cook!).

    Happy Thanksgiving to you! I’m so thankful for your wonderful website and your awesome recipes. This last year I have shared with family, friends and complete strangers your website and talk about you as if I have met you both. You inspire me that no matter what life throws me there is always time to make a tasty and filling meal for my family. I do think about what you both do everyday just to survive and I cannot complain about my own life. God Bless you both!
