Today is Holy Monday. It is the second day of Easter Week, which began on Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday marked Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Historical documents tell us that as early as the fourth century, the Church celebrated what was called “The Great Week”.

Look to Italy on Lenten Fridays
Today is the 5th Friday of Lent. Normally, during this time of the year Catholics world-wide refrain from eating meat on Fridays. This year, for some Catholics in the United States, things are different.
Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Caper Pan Sauce
You learn something new every day. I was about to tell you that this is the 5th Friday of Lent, but I would have been wrong. Sure, it’s the 5th Friday after Ash Wednesday, but apparently when counting Lenten Fridays, that first one doesn’t count because it is not preceded by a Sunday of Lent. Do you have a headache now? So confusing.

Monterey Spaghetti with French-Fried Onions
Different. That’s how Hubby would describe this meatless Spaghetti Casserole. And that’s Hubby-Speak for “don’t make it again”. On the flip side, Kiddo loved it, nearly finishing off the entire casserole single-handedly.

Spinach Ravioli Lasagna
Good Morning. Good Morning. Debbie Reynolds is singing in my head. Ghee, what a way to start the day! Happy Friday everyone.
The Way of Oven-Baked Scallops in Shells
One of Hubby’s favorite things from the sea has to be Scallops. They are almost like round, sweetly mild white fish, just not flaky like a perfectly cooked piece of fish would be. Scallops lend themselves beautifully to an array of flavor enhancements.
Anything Stuffed with Crab is a Delicious National Day
I adore crab. There are countless fond memories involving crab. One of my favorites has to be to get some crab at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, pick up some fresh baked Sourdough Bread and a jug of wine. Then sit on the beach enjoying an amazingly simple picnic and watch the sun go down. That was a long, long time ago.

Krafty Tuna Mac and Cheese
I can remember taking Home Economics in school. While many today feel that the class was aimed at turning girls into good housewives (and it was); there were skills taught that everyone should have – girls and boys alike. Mending clothes, preparing a meal, balancing a check book and working with a budget. Life lessons.
Lasagna Alfredo Florentine
It’s Friday. Ever notice how every weekend begins on a Friday Night? That makes Fridays just a little special, don’t you think? Even a Meatless Friday can be something wonderful.
Fly Away with a Simple Lobster Thermidor
Have you every had one of those really wish I had gone another way moments? Lobster Thermidor is one of those moments for me. Let me explain . . .
Celebrate Friday with a Five-Cheese Ziti Bake
Do you realize it’s been over a year since I last shared a recipe utilizing Ziti Pasta? I say that’s too long between recipe.

Friday’s Spicy Calamari Linguine
When Kiddo was just a wee little kiddo, he moved through the world like a little adult. He traveled with us everywhere, and developed a taste for the finer establishments. Unfortunately, by the time he was a teenager, his tastes changed. It was pizza and burgers and greasy-spoon dives. Typical teenage things.
Festive Puff Pastry Stuffed Flounder
My original plan for this Pastry Flounder was to suggest it as a possible Christmas Eve dinner, perhaps as one of the multitude of dishes served for the Feast of Seven Fishes. But then I saw that today is the beginning of Hanukkah. I am not Jewish, so I don’t know how Kosher this recipe is, but it sure is festive.
Ribbon Pasta with Shrimp and Lemon Garlic
Did you know that today is National String Popcorn Day? Yep, it is. I’ve always wanted to string popcorn and make cranberry garland for my tree. When my children were little, the best Christmas we ever had was filled with paper decorations and a cardboard box painted to look like a fireplace. How else was Santa going to get into our tiny apartment?

National Mississippi Day and Southern Eats
Today is National Mississippi Day. The 20th state to join the union, Mississippi is home to the Delta Blues. Mississippi is one of the first states children learn how to spell with a simple crooked-letter humpback rhyme. It’s also how many of us count seconds – one Mississippi, two Mississippi.
