South of the Border Inspiration

Today is Nation Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day. While kiddo and I are big fans of Pastrami, Hubby not so much. Besides, today is Friday. And we all know that meat of any kind is generally not something us Old School Catholics have on a Friday night.

Grilling Up Summer Flavors

Today is National Peach Melba Day. We can thank French Chef Auguste Escoffier, Australian soprano Nellie Melba and the famed Savory Hotel in London for this amazing taste of summer in the dead of winter.

Creamy Tuscan Chicken Fettuccine

Today is National Chicken Curry Day. Are you a fan of anything curry? It’s one of those spices that you either love or shy away from – like saffron, it can be fairly overpowering.

All That Is Arkansas

Acquired as part of the Louisiana Purchase, Arkansas became a separate territory in 1819 and achieved statehood in 1836. A slave state, Arkansas became the ninth state to secede from the Union. That might explain why, from 1874 to 1967, every Arkansas governor was a member of the Democratic Party.

Ho-Ho It’s Bittersweet Chocolate Day!

Sometimes it’s the little cheats that can add so much to the presentation of a dish. This beautiful Chocolate Mousse is just such an example of thinking a little out of the box.

Sunday Supper Lasagna

Oh my, is it really the Second Sunday in January? Another week, and we’re half way through the first month of the New Year. Did you know that the second Sunday in January is National Sunday Supper Day? I know, seems like we’ve been having a lot of family suppers these past few years. Personally, I think that’s a good thing.

Good Morning Corned Beef Hash O’Brien

Early one morning, as I was reorganizing our big freezer in the garage, I came across a Corned Beef Brisket. It got me to thinking about breakfast and Corned Beef Hash.

No Ordinary Seafood Enchilada

The Holidays are behind us, Advent and Christmas over. It’s now Ordinary Times. From a Catholic perspective, there is little that is ordinary (as in uneventful or unimportant) about Ordinary Times.

The Epiphany of Our Lord

Matthew 2:1-2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas

My true love gave to me Twelve Drummers Drumming. Each beat of the drum resounds with an act of faith – the faith found in the Apostles’ Creed.

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas

My true love gave to me Eleven Pipers Piping. The Faithful Eleven, drawing us ever closer to the Lord just as He drew them to Him.

On the Tenth Day of Christmas

My true love gave to me Ten Lords-a-Leaping. Each Lord represents a Commandment from above. The Ten Commandments are the cornerstones of civilized law.

Beautiful Blueberry Muffins

Hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful Holiday Season. How ever you may celebrate, whatever your beliefs, customs and traditions, hope you made every moment count. Life is too short and far too fragile to waste even a moment.

On the Ninth Day of Christmas

My true love gave to me Nine Ladies Dancing. As Children of God, we are encouraged to be more Christ-like in our relationship with one another and the world around us. God sent the Holy Spirit to help us in this endeavor.

Looking Back At

This is now my forth year of looking back at recipes we’ve shared. Wow – four years is a long time, don’t you think? I’m so grateful for each and every person I have had the pleasure of “meeting” on this amazing journey through cyberspace. How I’d love to sit down and break bread with you in the real world. My faith tells me we will meet one day, if not in this world then at the banquet table in heaven.
