A blessing for you today. Psalm 20
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.[b]
4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory
and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
Writing this blog is such a blessing to me. It has become a platform for family and friends and folks I haven’t even met to share recipes that I may not have otherwise ever known about. Today I am so excited to share a recipe with you that I received from my nephew, Ryan. Ryan loves to cook and bake.

Last week he emailed me and asked if I had a good recipe for Clafoutis. Clafoutis — hmmm – not only did I not have a recipe, but I had no idea what it was! Wikipedia to the rescue! Turns out Clafoutis is a baked Frenchdessert of black cherries arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter.
