You’ve gotta put some love in it!

"You’ve gotta put some love in it!"

This was a favorite saying of one of the best cooks I’ve known. In our crew, as we called ourselves, Jeff was The Cook. If you ever tried to duplicate one of his recipe’s and it didn’t turn out just right, he’d tell you, “You’ve gotta put some love in it”! It didn’t matter if it was his lemon pepper shrimp or Chef Boyardee for Ashley, he put the love in it and it made everything taste better.

This year as Thanksgiving and Christmas roll around I encourage you to take an extra minute and put some love in it. Even if the turkey is dry, the rolls are burned and one of the kids spills something on your freshly cleaned carpets, enjoy the day and the time with your friends and family. Be thankful for it all, most of us don’t have to look far to see how blessed we really are!
