Finding Joy in the Little Things

Hi friends, 

I pray you are well, healthy and safe during this time of crisis. Our governor has done an amazing job and we are learning to adapt to our restrictions. Thankfully for this coffee girl who goes a bit stir crazy after a couple of days, Starbucks drive-thru is still open. What was once viewed as a regular treat is now viewed as a bit of a luxury. It gives us someplace to get out of the house, take a nice drive the long way around and a yummy dose of much-needed caffeine for me. 

Even Griffin loves his pup cup and the way the baristas fawn over him.

While we make a trip out once or twice a week, the rest of our time is spent at home. I miss meeting friends for lunch and coffee, miss date night out with my hubby, miss window shopping, but I’m so abundantly grateful for all of God’s blessings. Our family is safe and healthy. We have food on our table, a roof over our head and a secure job that will weather this storm. 

I’m enjoying my writing time, working on projects we’ve put off for too long, decluttering and organizing. Watching movies and Facetiming with friends. 

I’ve also have an Instapot I’ve been dying to try out. I found a cookbook and some wonderful recipes to work with what we have in the house.  Over the years I’ve recipes from each of my books, dishes my characters love to make. I thought I’d share a few with you to try out during this time. Hope you enjoy them! 

Reader Question:

Do you have a favorite dish? A quick and easy dinner? I’d love it if you’d share the recipe or even just the name of the dish. 

My prayers are with you,

Dani
