Welcome to National Minnesota Day! Remember yesterday, when we had that awesome roast chicken supper? In our house, unless we’re having people over, a roast chicken is the key to more than one good meal.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
Second Sunday in Lent and Roast Chicken Supper
If this yummy Roast Chicken Supper seems familiar, you aren’t wrong. I shared it way, way back in October 2018. It was part of a nostalgic stroll through childhood memories and Sunday Suppers.

Before Hubby came into my life, I had never eaten a Scallop – at least not knowingly. I ate Catfish because Dad and I went fishing together and it thrilled me to eat something I had caught. I ate Lobster and Crab because – well, who doesn’t? And shrimp. Love shrimp.

Today is the second Friday of Lent and the first Friday following the first Sunday of Lent. That would mean it’s an Ember Days Friday, too. So confusing. Bottom line is it’s a day of Abstinence within the Universal Catholic Church. It means no meat today. It is also a celebration of Spring with Ember Days of Lent.

On the National Foodie Calendar, today is National Clam Chowder Day. As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Clam Chowder. However, since this week we will also be talking Ember Days, and I’ve got something special planned for Saturday in the Chowder Family, I thought this year we’d skip Clam Chowder Day.

The fact that today is National Tortilla Chip Day should be self explanatory. It’s a day set aside to celebrate the crunchy snack loved by millions. Tortilla chips with a big bowl of salsa or guacamole are the most common ways to celebrate the day. Using Tortillas Chips as a base for Nachos is another. And then there are those creative dishes that use Tortilla Chips as a breading to add a salty crunch to various foods.

Just like last year, the minute National Banana Bread Day came around, it carried me back to my Home Economics class more years ago than I care to admit. Home Economics Class was an elective class designed for young girls but open to all students. It’s something they need to reintroduce before those skills are lost forever. Lord knows our young people need to develop real life skills.

The almond trees are in full bloom, and their sweet aroma fills the air here in my corner of California. We should be making plans to attend the Almond Blossom Festival just up the road. It’s really more a carnival than festival, with a midway of games and rickety rides.

Sundays should always be special, regardless of the seasons of the Church. Growing up, Sundays were a time for family – both immediate and extended. Family was everything. If there is one thing the Pandemic has taught us, it’s the value of family.

Sometimes when you don’t feel much like cooking you’ll grab what appears to be the easiest recipe in your collection. Yet you can still get a nice surprise. Yes, this recipe is super easy. But it was also delicious.

The countdown has begun. Today is the Friday following Ash Wednesday. Catholics across the globe have begun the discipline of Lenten Fridays, fasting, penance and personal sacrifice.

As a girl growing up, my Catholic faith was a deep and defining part of my life. Although I attended public school, most of my classmates also attended the Saturday Catechism classes as I did. We made our First Communion together. Looking at our group photo outside Saint Paul’s Church and our class picture that same year, nearly all of the faces were the same.

Within the Christian world, today is Ash Wednesday and marks the start of the Lenten Season. While the calendar counts 46 days until Easter, the Lenten Season is actually 40 Days. Sundays are “exempt”, considered outside the penance of Lent. Why? As a Catholic, we celebrate the Mass. The act of celebration is separate from the act of penance.

For a lot of people, Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras is the perfect excuse to eat too much, drink too much and just all around have way more fun than imaginable. These days very few people stop to think of the religious implications of the day.
