Ham & Cheese Breakfast Turnovers

Let’s face it the holidays can be a bit overwhelming, with shopping, wrapping cleaning, decorating, cooking, it seems like there isn’t enough time to do it all. I have to remind myself that it all doesn’t really matter what is most important are the people in our lives and the memories we create with them. So this year, I didn’t put out all my decorations, I didn’t make homemade bark and give it out and I didn’t drive myself insane with regret for not making it all perfect! Instead I chose to focus on being grateful. Every single time I started to criticize myself for not having done something, I said I am grateful for this. I am grateful for this person, I am grateful for my children, I am grateful for . . . you get the idea. Well I have to say, it made a huge difference for me. I think it is something I will continue to do when I feel stressed or overwhelmed with my long to do list . . . I love to do lists, they keep me sane! I loved the idea of practicing gratitude and thought I should share it with you – just in case you do the same thing, blame yourself for not doing it all. When it is all said and done it is the people and the experience we have with those wonderful people that make it all worthwhile. To celebrate my children and their love for comfort food I created these tasty breakfast ham and cheese turnovers. It was fabulous and fairly easy! It was a nice warm and cozy breakfast that we enjoyed in front of the fire place in our pajamas. I encourage you to relax and celebrate those people who are most important to you. And it is always more fun doing it with great food. Blessings to you and yours this holiday season. Cecelia
