Today is day twenty-one of the Lenten Season, the forth Friday of Lent. I cannot think of Lenten Fridays without remembering those torturous Friday nights of my youth.

One of Hubby’s all-time favorites from the sea has got to be Scallops. I had never eaten a scallop until I married this man. I’ve got to tell you, one bite and it was instant gotta have this! They are tender, sweet and so delicate that scallops compliment rather than overpower the sauce, a salad or whatever vehicle used to get them from your plate to your lips.

In 1986, The American Diabetes Association designated the fourth Tuesday in March as American Diabetes Association Alert Day. It is a “wake-up call” to the American public about the seriousness of diabetes, to encourage all to take the diabetes risk test and to learn about their family’s history with diabetes. At The American Diabetes Association’s Alert Website you can take a quick risk test, learn how to lower your risk and even share information with friends and family. Who knows, maybe the life you impact will be your own.

Growing up a Catholic in the 1950s and 60s meant eating a lot of fish sticks. If it wasn’t a fish stick, it was deep fried catfish. To this day, I still love a good catfish fry. But there are other ways to skin that fish and have it taste just as good. Take this oven-baked catfish. Too simple and way too delicious to be the real deal, yet it is. Served up with seamed broccoli and you’ve got all the makings for a beautiful yet healthy alternative to a down home fish fry.

Sufferin’ Succotash It’s Pan-Seared Catfish
As our old pal Sylvester the Cat would so often say, “Sufferin’ succotash!” It’s one of those expressions I heard on Saturday mornings growing up thanks to cartoons, and never questioned its meaning. It was understood as the utterance of frustration, a polite “Jesus Christ” that conveyed a level of discontent without the need to take the Lord’s name in vain. While I can remember hearing the expression from cartoon characters, I don’t recall ever hearing it from the lips of actual people.

National Ravioli Day, Lent and Cheese Ravioli
Did you know that Radio Flyer established the last Wednesday in March as National Little Red Wagon Day? A day to make memories, to celebrate the power of imagination and for adults to be more child-like. After all, who doesn’t feel like a kid in a Little Red Wagon? The Radio Flyer Wagon has been around since 1917. A vintage Radio Flyer can run you as much as $60.00; while a new one can be had for under $20.00. So if your kids or grand kids has one, tell them it’s an investment and to treat that wagon well.

Tarragon Scallops on Asparagus Spears
Aren’t these Sea Scallops beautiful? Perfect for a special Lenten Friday night supper. As many of you know, we’re an old-school Catholic household. Although not always successful, we do our best to stay away from meaty meals on all Fridays throughout the year.
Serving up a Saint Patrick’s Day Feast for the Whole Family
Imagine my delight when I got an email from my sister. We had been going back and forth trying to work out a date to get together for dinner and cards. Her son plays soccer, and as you soccer moms know, that can be a very full schedule. As luck would have it, her son did not have a game scheduled for March 16th. Did we want to get together for some extended family time? Yes! Absolutely!

Lenten Tartar Sauce Coleslaw on a Cod Fish Sandwich
Today is the eighth day of the Lenten Season. Time to really get creative and think outside my typical box. As I put together my meal planner, I asked Hubby if he liked Coleslaw. I had noticed that he generally cringed away from slaw that came as a side in some restaurants. He said sure, if it’s done right he would eat it. What about Tartar Sauce Coleslaw on a Cod Fish Sandwich? He gave me a strange look, thought for a moment and agreed he would be willing to give it a try. So the adventure began.

Not So Traditional Saint Patrick’s Day Supper
Today is the fifth day of the Lenten Season. Saint Patrick’s Day is less than a week away – that magical day when everyone suddenly becomes just a wee-bit Irish. Throughout the country, there will be parades as our rivers run green. It is a party in the streets. While the rest of America may be eating Corned Beef and Cabbage and raising a pint or three of Guinness, we will be dining on a less than traditional Irish-American fare.

Double Crusted Tuna Mushroom Pub Pie
We had a great weekend getting down to our Celtic Roots, and there was no time to cook! This weekend was the annual Celtic Faire in Sonoma, California. That is a big deal with us. The faire in Sonoma is the largest Celtic Gathering west of the Mississippi, and was even featured on the travel channel. While we attend others, this one is that cannot miss it even.
