Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays. Of course it might be because I’m a foodie and love all the cooking aspects of the holiday. But I know it’s also my favorite because I’m a big believer in being grateful  – ALWAYS (not just on Thanksgiving!). At Mama Jess and in my personal life, I try to compile a gratitude list every day (sometimes it’s just written in my head, but sometimes it makes it to paper).

Here’s a peak at my list for Mama Jess today:

I am so grateful that Mama Jess is reaching more and more consumers that want to share in a healthy living and eating lifestyle. I’m grateful to connect with our friends and fans and share our passion for plant based, organic nutrition. I am grateful for the rapid growth of the Mama Jess brand and I’m beyond grateful for all the support I’ve received to accomplish this (it can’t be done alone!). 

 

So – THANK YOU ALL for being a part of my gratitude list!

 

Here is a very speedy little recipe to enjoy this “Sweet Potato Season’. It would be a festive side to any Thanksgiving meal or even just a quick lunch. Today we’ll be dining on these as we baked the rest of our sweet potatoes in prep for a Sweet Potato Casserole. Enjoy!

 

WITH GRATITUDE,

 

Mama Jess
