My Delicious Plate
Ahh...I'm still full from an awesome day yesterday. I am going to give you a play by play of my Thanksgiving.
I kicked they day off by watching the Macy's Day Parade! Then I headed to kitchen to make my first pumpkin pies, and my green beans especiales!!
Thanks to Deborah's Tree Ministry
They mailed me some easy No Bake Pumpkin Pie Mix
I made a Pumpkin Mousse and a regular.
Muy delicioso!!
We had Thanksgiving dinner at 2:00 at the school. We had a great time. I did tear up a little while we prayed. I missed being with the fam in MS and frying turkeys. But I made new memories with my other family. The food was great! Some highlights on my plate: broccli/cheese casserole...tomato/basil bread...Susan's SOUTHERN dressing(these Northerners have no idea!!!!)...my green beans (off the chains)...Tia Maria's turkey(it wasn't fried..but it was JUICY)...SWEET TEA!

(my call...grace...friendship...love...mercy...growth(it hurts)...peace...strength...protection...and so much more) It has been an awesome here in Costa Rica and that my friends I am thankful for.

And now...for the AMAZING Green Bean Especiales Recipe:
3 cans whole green beans
Approx 10-15 slices bacon, cut in half
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. melted butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 dash soy sauce
Wrap 4-6 beans in bacon
Place in 9x13 baking dish.
Cover with marinade
Refrigerate overnight.
Bake at 350 for 30 min.
I didn't make mine in bundles since there were so many of us, so you can just mix it all together in a baking dish and prepare the same way except cook the bacon a little before mixing and cut in bite size pieces! Enjoy!
WORD OF THE DAY: LLENA (full)
How I see it: (Bustin at the seams!)
