In all the years that the Clarksons have been a family, feasting together has been a lifegiving activity for us. And we’ve always called it feasting, whether it involves a full-blown banquet, a one-on-one treat of milk and cookies, or a bowl of fresh-popped popcorn enjoyed around the fire.

The word feasting reminds us of God’s bounty, the gift of our relationships, and the response of pleasure and thanksgiving that the act of sharing a meal requires of us. Somehow it makes “eating” sound more significant.

One favorite feast as of late has been my special salmon with a brown sugar, real maple syrup, and mustard glaze, with creamy brown rice and a fresh salad on the side.

What have you all been enjoying lately? Tell me in the comments!
