Today is National Iowa Day. Iowa, home of sliced bread, Field of Dreams, and The Bridges of Madison County. Iowa is also home to the Grotto of Redemption. The Grotto is considered by many to be one of the Wonders of the World.

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.
Good Morning Sunday
Good Morning everyone. Well, it’s official, Hubby is walking away from the NFL. So Super Bowl Sunday is no longer a valid excuse for elevating his blood pressure. If you could see the stress he puts himself through with every game, you’d understand my relief that he’s had enough. I’ve never understood how veins bulging out of your head can be pleasant.

Today is National Chop Stick Day. In our family, we have a chop stick tradition. It doesn’t matter if we are serving Chinese at home or eating out, that first bite is always with chop sticks. After that, forks and spoons and whatever else is fine. Hey, at least we make the effort.

Today is World Nutella Day. Tomorrow is National Frozen Yogurt Day. Imagine my delight when I found a cornucopia of recipes combining Frozen Yogurt with Nutella! Nutella today, Frozen Yogurt tomorrow. Perfect.

Sometimes staring blankly into the refrigerator is all you need for inspiration. My guys had headed off to work, I had already had my first morning cup of Joe for the day. The TV was on for company, and the crew of The Kitchen were talking about breakfast.

In our house, this year’s Super Bowl is sort of up in the air. Hubby was so disappointed in the Packer loss after coming so far. He’s not even sure he wants to watch the game since the outcome holds no interest. And then there’s all the political nonsense that has somehow seeped into every aspect of life in America, including sports.

When the days were completed for their purification
according to the law of Moses,
Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem
to present him to the Lord,
just as it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,
and to offer the sacrifice of
a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons,
in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.
The Gospel According to Saint Luke

Today we celebrate the Lone start State – Texas. Today is also National Freedom Day. On February 1, 1865 President Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution outlawing slavery. The states did not ratify the amendment until December 18, 1865. On June 30, 1948, President Truman signed a bill proclaiming February 1 officially as National Freedom Day in the United States.

On the National Food Front, today is Hot Chocolate Day. Perfect for the last day in January. Maybe next year, I’ll share a recipe more in keeping with the National Day.

Today is National Croissant Day. When it comes to pastries, Croissants rank right up there as my favorite. I love Croissant Sandwiches. And I adore Almond Croissants for breakfast. Here in American, we think we know Croissants. What we know are grocery store bakeries. If you can, find a true French Bakery. What a difference!

Today has several National Days to pick from. The one with the greatest impact has to be National Big Wig Day. It was designed to raise money as well as awareness on a number of worthwhile fronts to help people who may need wigs after an illness. For more information on how to observe the last Friday in January, please visit the National Big Wig Day website.

Today is the Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Years ago, we belonged to a parish that had the tradition of handing out small loaves of dark bread at the end of Mass in honor of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Tucked inside the wrappings were quotes from Saint Thomas Aquinas. I miss that tradition.

When it comes to celebrating special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays or weddings, we do so with cake. When asked to name a favorite cake flavor, more often than not people say Chocolate Cake. Hubby’s favorite is marble, so that’s sort of chocolate. I like a French Vanilla Cake best.
Continue reading “Beyond Chocolate Chocolate Cake”Simple Beef Risotto Supper
Every now and again, I get a craving for something simple yet not typical for supper. Beefy Corn Rice-A-Roni is a great example. Just three simple ingredients – a box of beef Rice-A-Roni, a pound of ground beef and a can of corn.

Today is National Florida Day, so let’s talk Florida Cuisine. While every country has its dishes, and every region its distinct style, Florida is one of the most uniquely diverse in the world. Its multicultural exchange of flavors can be traced back to 1513 when Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain.
