Andrea is alive and feeling so grateful. Her surgery went well but she’s still under the weather.
We wanted you to know she will be back next week, but for now, she needs a little break.
She sends all her love and thankfulness for the prayers. She will be sharing her journey — the story is unique. God’s hands were in every little detail, and for this, she is so incredibly grateful.

Gratitude is more than being thankful
When the emotion is expressed
It’s about giving more than handful
And yet feeling blessed

Gratitude is being grateful
For whatever we achieve
Cause more we are faithful
The better we conceive

Gratitude is being humble
To the world we see
Caring for one & other
And Appreciation is the key

Gratitude is an Acknowledgement
Of all the wonderful deeds
A feeling of gratitude should be sown
Cause that’s all we need
Grateful Poem by: Ryson Dsouza

OK hear me out. These next two months are so busy with the holidays, and figuring out what’s for dinner can be overwhelming. These sammies were a huge hit with my family and took less than ten minutes to make. I thought these were a perfect share for this time of year. Enjoy!

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese
Ingredients:
• Italian Bread
• Homemade tomato sauce, or a good quality sauce (this will make the sammy!)
• Mozzarella cheese
• Parm cheese (shaker or fresh)
• Pepperoni slices (from deli)
• Butter or Garlic butter
Directions:

Slap some butter on each slice of bread. Do it up, don’t be stringy.

Next, place slices of pepperoni on the side that has no butter. Then add the tomato sauce. As much or as little as you like. The pepperoni will create a barrier so it doesn’t make the bread soggy.

Finally top with all the cheeses. Be generous. No one likes a grilled cheese sammy with hardly any cheese.

Place the second piece of buttered bread on top. Cook on medium heat until bread is nice and browned and cheese is melted. Serve with a green salad and some chippies.
