Poppyseed Chicken Kasserole…Lemon Dreams…Thankful Every Day




What's Up Guys,

I want to Thank each of you for making this year’s Thanksgiving at Kairos Kafe an awesome success! This was the best year yet, and we are so excited about the new place in Gardendale! We will have our Christmas Menu out by the end of the week, and it will be attached to next week’s newsletter, or you can see it before then on our Facebook Page, or on our blog at www.kairoskafe.blogspot.com

I know you guys are all satisfied from the long weekend, but I hope you will be hungry by the time the week starts! Granny’s Poppyseed Chicken Kasserole is gracing the Kwick Hitter Menu along with one of my favorite Kasseroles of all time, The Woodard. This one is slammed full of delicious goodness with tender chicken, sautéed mushrooms, broccoli, and a creamy sauce all tucked into a beautiful bed of perfectly cooked rice. I named this after a family after they asked us to Kater a very large family reunion. They wanted me to do rice, and after persuading them to choose potatoes or pasta, they still wanted rice so I was forced to come up with a recipe… up to this point I had not worked much with rice. At the event, it was so good that was mostly what they talked about! So, I decided to add it to the menu and name it after them since they nudged me in this direction. The Fish is also sure to please! Fresh Salmon grilled with a Buffalo-Honeymustard Glaze… the perfect Umami /uːˈmɑːmi blend of sweet and savory…The Veggie is another one filled with delicious goodness! Green Beans and Shoepeg Corn Sauteed in a creamy sauce…. With so much delicious goodness going on, I hope to see you this week!

Every year around this time I start thinking about what it means to be thankful… and every year I seem to learn some new thing about this or that aspect of thankfulness and gratitude and how it applies to my relationship with Jesus, Other Folks, and even myself… Most of the time I usually forget most of it by January 2nd

This year has been pretty incredible. I have learned a lot that I have shared with you guys. But this week, I feel convicted that this is the way I am supposed to live for the rest of my life! Not just during the Holidays, but everyday.

Thank you God for creating me in your image. Thank you for redeeming my life when I made a total wreck of it. Thank you for your presence. Thank you for your peace. Thank you for teaching me how to live and be what you created me to be. Thank you for restoring loved ones to me that were once lost. And thank you for each of these awesome folks that support Kairos!

You guys have a great week! Thanks so much for your support!
