Another Amazing Sunday Supper

Is there an abundance of chicken roasters right now? A few months back, I noticed that the Deli Rotisserie Chicken had doubled in price. But lately the market seems to be running specials on whole chickens. Which is good. Roast Chicken sure hits the comfort button this time of year.

A Feast for Two Apostles

While I realize that the true focus of Christian Faith must always be on Jesus Christ, I do wish we knew more about the Apostles. Each was chosen by Jesus for a particular reason. If we knew more about them, perhaps we might understand better why each was selected. What did they have to offer? And we just might be able to see a bit of ourselves in them.

Not Self, But Country

Today is National Navy Day, not to be confused with the US Navy’s actual birthday, which is October 13. So why is Navy Day not celebrated on the Navy’s birthday? Navy Day was established on October 27, 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. It is in recognition of Theodore Roosevelt’s Birthday.

Tennessee and Whiskey Bourbon

Flavor-Packed Skillet Burgers

After taking last year off from National Greasy Food Day, we’re back again with another yummy burger. Not all burgers are dripping with grease. But when we think of Greasy Foods, we tend to think unhealthy. Let’s face it, Burgers rank right up there in the don’t eat this every night of the week category.

Red Wine Meatall Spaghetti

Many moons ago, Hubby, Kiddo and I called Las Vegas Home. It seems a lifetime ago, and in many ways, that’s true. As you can imagine, there are an insane number of Italian Restaurants in Las Vegas, especially away from the bright lights of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Sunday Roast Chicken Anytime

It’s been a while since we talked Sunday Supper just for the sake of family time. We sure don’t miss a Special Sunday Supper, but we haven’t talked Sunday Supper for no reason in a while. And actually, even though today is Sunday, this recipe isn’t for today. Maybe next Sunday. Or even tomorrow.

Everything’s Coming Up Pumpkin

Yah, I know yesterday we had Fruitcake and now it’s another dessert. I cannot help how the National Days are lining up this time of the year. Or is it that Hubby and I are watching our figures now that winter is coming and we aren’t as active.

It’s Brandied Fruit Day

Among other things such as Chicken and Waffles Day. Chicken and Waffles has an amazing history. That said, I don’t care much for syrup on my chicken or waffles without syrup. If you do, that’s great.

Seeing God’s Hand in Life

Today’s recipe is one of those recipes that kept getting moved around and pushed back. First it was obligations to our parish. If you have ever been involved in a church project, you know how it can grow and take on a life all its own.

Better Than Fast Food Crunch Wraps

Today is National Pasta Day. Did you know that? Yeah, but we aren’t doing pasta today. Why? Because it’s Tijuana Tuesday in our house. Pasta dishes are reserved for Tuscan Thursday. And frankly, I’m in the mood for a margarita!

Tis Almost That Time of Year

How many of you pin things to Pinterest? I save recipes to mine – from my blog and from all the blogs I follow. Every now and then, I need to go in and “clean house” – delete duplicate pins or pins that no longer are linked to anything. Currently there are over 11,000 pins. That’s a lot.
