As we all know prices just keep going higher and higher. It costs more to feed our families than it used to. Not only are the prices raising, but many of us have become a victim of instant gratification. Quicker, and sometimes the same price or even less to run to the local burger joint and pick up dinner. Bring it home, set it on table. Everyone gets what they want , eat and done. No dishes. No clean up, no mess…… no memories. Even though things are harder to come by, we still need those moments, those table discussions, those memories. That special time of togetherness.

Could you all please help by sharing your “ struggle “ meal. We all had them. The fact that we remember them, and even still make them , speaks of their impressions on us.

We never know when something that we say or do can help make someone’s life a little easier. We are here to help each other.

Friends, tonight our hearts are with another member of the Facebook cooking community.

Many people watched the live stream where John experienced a medical emergency. We want to lift Momma, and the family up in prayer during this difficult time.

Moments like this remind us that behind every recipe, live video, and page is a real person with a real family. While we may all have different pages and communities, we’re all connected through our love of cooking, sharing, and supporting one another.

Please join us in praying for John, Momma, and everyone who loves them. ❤️
