Greetings SBV community! I made a fast road trip to Houston this week where my youngest grandson, the adorable Connor Maher, had tubes put in his ears. Connor had a serious bout with RSV last spring and has suffered recurring infections ever since. The doctor has assured us that these tubes are going to make a world of difference and I’m happy to report that our little man is doing great today. Me, I’m back in the road pointed towards Louisiana, staring at a work week I haven’t even dented, and here it is Friday! Hmmm….does anyone else see a working weekend in my future? Yeah, me, too!

Right now, however, I’m on a mission. What with us posting recipes this week, it seems to be a fitting time to do something I’ve had on my mind for a while now. Allow me to introduce y’all to Connor’s mommy, my talented daughter Jessica Ann, also known as Ms. Kitchen Bellicious! That’s Jessica’s cooking blog and the girl is a creative genius in the kitchen. (Remember, it’s not bragging if it’s true! *smile*)

The other belles know my Jessica but I don’t think I’ve ever introduced her to the rest of y’all, so, SBV friends, meet Jessica! I’m sharing my post today today by pointing you towards her fabulous blog. Why don’t you have a look around and tell her that her mother sent you?

This is Jessica’s Pumpkin Spiced Chai Granola with Walnuts and it is everything the name suggests and more! I hope you enjoy!

Hugs,
Shellie
