Comfort food is where my heart takes me this morning. Are there times when comfort food is needed for you? This post wasn’t at all what I had on my calendar today…but, Hurricane Milton is weighing heavy on my heart this morning. With my sister, husband, son and family living either in or near Tampa, my thoughts are lingering there more than on the original post of the day. You, see? This sister has been the inspiration and/or included in more recipes shared on this blog than any other person. Now, she would tell you that she is not a “fancy” cook like I am…but, truly? I’m not a fancy cook either and she is an amazing cook. She’s all about comfort food. Which brings me to this post today… Do you remember Mother’s spaghetti sauce that I shared with you? Well, she has been the keeper of the recipe for decades. When creating the recipe to share with you? I reached out to her for that family and familiar recipe. The one that her kids and grands can’t get enough of. Since they will be gathered in her home during this hurricane, I’m sure this recipe will be on the table. Pumpkin bread added to the list… A visit to see them produced her pumpkin bread. Isn’t there something comforting about pumpkin bread in the fall? With feet under her table, that pumpkin bread was delicious. Here’s her recipe that we enjoyed. On another visit, we joined her son and family for dinner. Her granddaughter helped me make my recipe of fig and prosciutto pizza. What a joy! Here’s that favorite comfort food recipe here. After all, don’t many of us need pizza in times of stress? In the last year, another sister and I joined her for a cruise… That trip took us to the Columbian Restaurant and that favorite salad I shared with all of you. Praying that the historic district where this family restaurant is located makes it through this storm. Then last week? We were all together again in the Smokies. More comfort food at local restaurants was enjoyed by all of us. From soups to pasta to farm favorites, comfort was enjoyed together. As I type this, all family members are tucked into a new concrete reinforced home in a community 75 ft. above sea level, and 30 miles away from the shore. With 150 mile/hour rated roof, I’m praying for protection for them all. They have supplies in and ready, but I can’t imagine what the “waiting” must feel like for them. She has assured me that among that comfort food she has chocolate, LOTS of chocolate stocked! If you have watched the news, those evacuating are in a standstill situation on interstates running out of gas all before the storm has begun. I know that it was difficult for them to stay, but being in a vehicle isn’t the best option either. Many more friends live in or are visiting in the area who now can’t evacuate. Praying for all their safety this morning, as well. Can I ask a favor? Could you pray for all in the path of this hurricane? For all of you in the path of Hurricane Milton, may you be safe, and protected with no loss. My prayers and love for you all,
