What Are You Thankful For? One Thanksgiving morning, a family gathered around the kitchen table while the turkey cooked and the smell of homemade food filled the house. Before anyone started eating, Grandma suggested that everyone share one thing they were thankful for. The youngest child said, “I’m thankful for dessert!” Everyone laughed. Her father said he was thankful for his job and for having a warm home. Her mother said she was thankful that everyone was together. Then they looked at Grandma. She smiled and said, “I’m thankful for all the things we sometimes forget to notice.” Everyone became quiet. She continued, “I’m thankful for the phone calls from people I love. I’m thankful for mornings when I wake up and have another day to enjoy. I’m thankful for old memories that still make me smile, and for new memories that we haven’t made yet. I’m thankful for friends who became family, for laughter around the table, and for the people who have walked beside me through good times and difficult ones.” She looked around the table and added, “Most of all, I’m thankful that we have each other. We may not have everything we want, and life may not always be easy, but there is always something worth being grateful for.” The family held hands, and for a moment, nobody said anything. They didn’t need to. That Thanksgiving, they realized that gratitude isn’t about having a perfect life. It’s about noticing the blessings that are already there. So this Thanksgiving, take a moment to think about what you’re thankful for. Maybe it’s family. Maybe it’s a lifelong friendship. Maybe it’s a special memory. Maybe it’s a kind neighbor. Maybe it’s simply another beautiful day. Whatever your answer is, may we remember that some of life’s greatest blessings are the people and moments we sometimes take for granted. Happy Thanksgiving!

Cr anber ry Brie Pastry Tar ts INGRE D IENTS • 1 tablespoon salted butter, melted • 2 cups fresh cranberries • 2-4 tablespoons brown sugar, use more or less to your taste (I use 2 tablespoons) • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry, thawed • 2 (8 ounce) wheels of Brie, each cut into 12 slices (leave the rind on) • 1/3 cup fig preserves • 1 egg, beaten • coarse sugar, for sprinkling • fresh thyme, for serving

INSTR UC TIO N S 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, cranberries, brown sugar, and cinnamon. 3. Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 6 rectangles. Spread each rectangle with about 1 teaspoon fig preserves, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Top with 2 slices of brie and then mound the cranberries over the brie, pressing them into the brie to adhere slightly (see above photo). 4. Fold the edges of the pastry inward to enclose the brie. Brush the edges of pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. 4. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the brie melted. Top with fresh thyme. Serve and enjoy!
