What Ingredient Are You?

This idea originated from a mentor's (Lori Biddle) blog post titled "Ingredients".

Her post made me wonder what ingredient or item I would be at Thanksgiving Dinner...

Would I be the Turkey? In the center of attention, perfectly dressed with a gorgeous tan...

Maybe the stuffing? Intentionally hidden, but filled with morsels of deliciously secret ingredients...

Or am I the canned cranberry sauce? Plopped on a plate wiggling and jiggling waiting for that one person who loves me to enjoy my presence.

Maybe...I am the mashed potatoes that you have to peel and soften and season a little to enjoy my worth.

I very well could be the fresh green beans...full of nutrients, crisp and healthy and good for you and ...so NOT getting eaten or appreciated on Thanksgiving!

Who wouldn't want to be the pumpkin pie? The old family recipe, passed down from generation to generation, waited for, wished for, dreamt about, the talk of the meal! Don't forget the hand whipped cream...please!!!

Whatever Ingredient you will be this year...be there, be present, and enjoy your own uniqueness.

Whatever ingredient you would have been in the past is NOT the ingredient you have to bring this year.

Remember:

We are all ingredients, put together just so, in a way only the Master Chef can, to create a meal that satisfies all!

Lori...Thank you for the spark!
