With every recipe I follow, I am aware and grateful that I have the ability not only to purchase the ingredients required, but also the good fortune of being able to ingest it. With every chop and every measure of ingredient, I have a vision of feeding many! I hope to make a difference...starting of course with my children's awareness, but also in the real lives of real, deserving human beings. We all have a duty to give back to others if we have the means to. I may not yet be making a huge difference or impact on these precious people, but God knows my heart and God is bigger than any earthly challenge, so I look forward to watching His miracles unfold.
