Chicken Fricassee with Browned Butter Noodles

Have you ever stopped to consider changing your perspective on your "to-do list" from things that you "have" to do, to things that you "get" to do?  All to often I think of my daily tasks as things that I "have" to do.  Working out, watering the plants, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, folding the laundry, the list goes on and on.  I confess that I don't always think of these things as tasks that I "get" to do.  I'm trying to make more of a conscious effort to transform my perspective into a "get" to attitude rather than a "have" to attitude.  

You would think that spending 6 months on crutches and unable to walk would be enough of a wake up call for me to genuinely appreciate even the most mundane tasks on my to do list.  For a long time - I was super grateful just to be able to walk from my bedroom to the kitchen without crutches.  Unfortunately, the gratefulness seemed to slowly fade away and my daily to do list became more of a "have" to do instead of  a "get" to do list.  

One simple word can totally transform an unpleasant task like running to the bank into an errand that has purpose.  It's the difference between being frustrated that you have to get in the car and drive to the bank to deposit a check and being grateful and thankful that you have the money to add to your account.  The "get" to attitude creates an atmosphere of gratitude and thankfulness.

I am so grateful for the ability to provide healthy meals to my family and I don't take that blessing lightly.  I recognize how fortunate I am to have healthy food available when I'm hungry.  Remembering that blessing helps me to put things into perspective and the task of cooking dinner - back on the "get" to list.  

Ciao!

Your recipes are really something different than in any other blog because it offers a great deal of love to its readers. I am really while reading your posts. It is a kind of a great thing because you really care for the delicacy of the chicken. It was a classical cuisine, but what you showed in your blog is something that mom out there can make. You are a passionate one. I really commend your hard work. It is the best.
