30 Days of Thanks - Day 17

Today I’m thankful for Martha Stewart. (This is actually a suggestion that was probably made in jest, but I really am) Martha Stewart, in concept and actual human form, was someone my gramma (yes spelled this way nostalgically) looked to for advice and then taught me the things she was learning. This is also true for Ina Garten; I even inherited a few cookbooks. I remember growing up and trying new things from Barefoot Contessa or Martha Stewart at least monthly. My gramma would try new side dishes or clip/copy recipes out of Martha Stewart Living to try. Martha and Ina make me feel good when I watch them on TV or read their recipes and they connect me to the good memories of the past.

What are you thankful for today?

My gramma, Thanksgiving 2000

The cookbooks - plus that binder is full of clipped/copied recipes from all over (before everything was on the internet)
