When it came to a recipe to share, I really struggled with something new. Whenever I’m feeling less than inspired, I like to check out the National Calendar to see what the day has in store. It’s Moldy Cheese Day – doesn’t sound appetizing. And then there’s Pizza and Beer Day. Except I’m not a big pizza fan nor do I drink beer. So what else . . .

Growing up, one of the things I always looked forward to was Dad’s Holiday Baking. The man would begin baking cookies in mid October, and keep them frozen until Thanksgiving. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, we had more cookies than you could imagine. Cookies and fudge and pies and all sorts of holiday delights.
Taco Biscuit Cups are super easy to make, fun to eat and unbelievable filling. One or two “biscuits” is more than enough for even the largest appetites. My guys loved them. Hubby said he could eat Taco Cups several times a week. They are that good.

It’s another feast day within the Church. October 7th is known as Our Lady of the Rosary or Our Lady of Victory. This Feast Day was intended to honor a 16th century Naval victory that secured Europe against a superior Turkish invasion. If you want to learn more and have a wonderful meal, stick around. If not, that’s okay too.
You’ve been out all day – be it at the office or running errands or fulfilling your role as family chauffeur. Now all you want to do is come home, do a little prep work and sit down to a delicious, hot meal. Am I right?
Today is National Noodle Day. Noodles have been around since the beginning of time. Okay, that’s not entirely true, but in China an earthenware bowl containing some well preserved noodles has been dated to 4,000 years old. Wow, that’s some old noodles!

Do you know what I love about soups? Oh sure, there are the obvious reasons – delicious, comforting, cozy. But then there are the other reasons, such as presentation. I love my soup tureen. I love having Bouillon Spoons in my flatware drawer. And I love those cute little soup bowls with handles.
Why can’t we have pizza for dinner? Is that something you hear in your house? My guys love their pizza. I am not a fan of ordinary, pedestrian pizza. If I am going to have pizza, it needs to be with attitude.
Don’t you just love the way cooking changes with the seasons? Sure, in the modern age, we aren’t necessarily limited to “seasonal” ingredients. You can get an apple or an orange any time of the year. It isn’t so much what we cook but how we cook that changes.

Have you seen this dessert? While I do own two fondue pots (one electric, the other Sterno), I love the idea of forgoing the pot. Fondues aren’t made for big entertainments but rather for a small group of maybe four people. It really depends upon the table.
You know me, if it’s Friday, it’s gotta be meatless or a seafood or some other pre-Vatican II throw back. Say what you will, eating “meatless” once a week really is a smart, healthy choice.
This isn’t exactly the recipe I had intended to share today. I had planned to share a recipe for Pasta Salad that I have been using for years. It’s one of my own creation. But before we get into the salad itself, let me share a backstory here . . .

In case you missed it, last Thursday Night’s game was Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay. In my house, it means Hubby is glued to the TV with a big wedge of cheese on his beautiful head. It also means something for supper that can be eaten on the sofa, involving Bratwurst if at all possible.
Have you ever noticed that something happens when you bake pasta? Take Rigatoni – cook up the pasta, pile on the sauce and cheese and it’s great. Take those same ingredients, mix it all together in a casserole dish and bake it – totally different taste and texture.
Are you a fan of mashed potatoes? Potatoes are cheap to eat, and oh so delicious. I love potatoes. You can boil them, fry them, bake them twice if you like. It doesn’t matter. I don’t know about you, but I love it all.
