Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for cooking lessons from my Mom - in my very own kitchen!  Since I only see her 2 times a year, this is a big deal - even if it's a normal thing for other people.  She visited last weekend and I asked her to show me her grilling skills.  I bought steak and potatoes and she worked her magic! 

The steaks came out great and the potatoes (cut up in pieces with olive oil and rosemary - all in a foil package) were perfect.  She showed me how long to cook everything, where to put it on the grill and when to flip the steak.  It was a super yummy dinner and one of the ONLY times I have sat around my kitchen table over a REAL meal with FAMILY members.  I know that probably sounds very routine and normal, but it's a special occasion for me and I am very thankful.  This was MY "Thanksgiving" with family.  :)
