Happy Friday! For some of us, that means something – like the end of another grueling work-week. For others, Friday is just another in a long line of endless days. In our house, it means a meatless meal.

Welcome to My Easter Table
While my table is set, we won’t be hosting a gathering in our home this Easter. Like the rest of the world, we are together in spirit if not in the flesh. Perhaps next year.

When I saw this adorable Brownie creations from the Betty Crocker Kitchens, I knew I had to share. It was just too cute. And it reminded me of my childhood. Just a little something to think about for tomorrow.
Holy Saturday’s Easter Vigil
As a Christian, today is a day of sorrow and of joy. Joy in the belief that Christ is the Risen Lord. Sorry for having caused Him pain and suffering. The reason that Catholic Churches have the Crucifix displayed above the alter rather than an empty cross is to remind us of the price of sin.

In addition to Good Friday, this is also my Mother’s birthday. She is with the Lord. I wish I could bring her flowers, but I’m not sure what the restrictions might be as far as unnecessary travel.
Good Friday’s Humble Vegetable Soup
Traditionally speaking, Good Friday for Catholics is a day of fasting and prayer. Once upon a time, fasting meant just that – to fast, to go without food or drink. Over time, the rules governing fasting have changed, mainly for heath reasons. Now fasting is defined as one reduced meal, with two smaller meals that together do no make up a meal. This modified form of fasting is a requirement for all Catholics beginning on their 18th birthday, ending on their 59th year.

Good Morning! Are we excited for Easter yet? I know that I sure am. While this year will be a quiet Easter spent at home, there are still so many wonderful dishes to consider for a simple Easter Brunch.

Holy Thursday Roasted Supper
One of the traditions in our house is to have some sort of roasted meat on Holy Thursday. We aren’t lamb eaters; although I do love Lamb Gyros. Kiddo has to be in the mood for a Lamb Gyro, and Hubby says no way. He’s not really keen on strong flavors.
Mini Flower Easter Pastry Tarts
Happy Hump Day! The closer we get to Easter, the more excited I become. And that surprises me. I thought for sure I’d be sad, separated from my extended family on this most Holy of Celebrations.
Holy Wednesday Empanada Day
Each year on April 8, we celebrate National Empanada Day. The name Empanada comes from the Galicia, Portuguese and Spanish verb em pandar, which means to wrap or coat in bread. Empanadas are made by folding dough or bread around a seasoned filling. The Empanadas are then baked or fried, like savory hand pies.

We all love Taco Tuesday, even during Holy Week. In the past, we’ve tried to refrain from any meat during the entire forty days of Lent. Remember, those forty days do not include Sundays. Even during Lent, Sundays are Feast Days of the Lord. How did we do in our quest of No Meat Lenten Season? Failed. We did stick to the No Meat Friday, but didn’t make it through an entire forty-day abstinence.

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”.

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.
