Each month throughout the year the Catholic Church dedicates that particular month to a devotion. August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Consecration of the faithful to the Mother of God was a part of the Fatima message.

Crème Brûlée Day
The first time Hubby and I went to Tahiti, I lived on Crème Brûlée. Back then I wasn’t the fish-eater that I am today. Eventually I came to truly appreciate fresh fish, but I never gave up my love for Crème Brûlée.

When this simple man in a pair of jeans and red t-shirt strolled out to the end of the stage and lifted a margarita high into the air, his fans began to hoop and holler. They knew what was coming next.

A few years back we took a cruise vacation for 16 days. Yeah, sixteen days on a ship. While amazing, if you aren’t a fan of the open ocean, it’s not recommended. There are a lot of days at sea with little to do but eat.
Continue reading “Vanilla Ice Cream Need Not Be Boring”Honoring Mary Magdalene
While Bologna served up like burgers might seem an odd selection for the Feast of Mary Magdalene. It’s not as odd as it sounds. Barbecued or Slow Roasted Bologna is popular in Oklahoma. And Oklahoma is home to America’s longest running Passion Play.

While the weather sometimes dictates how we eat, when it comes to Mexican spice it really doesn’t matter if its 40 degrees outside (best time for spice) or triple digits. Take a dip in the pool, stand under the fan, whatever it takes to let you eat spicy Mexican foods.
Continue reading “Keeping Tuesday Simple”Saint Veronica of the Veil
There are more Catholic recognized saints than there are days in a year. If we wanted to, we could celebrate each day with a dedication to a different saints for the next 27 years and not have celebrated them all. Yeah, that’s a lot of saints.

When ordering breakfast at a diner, what do you typically order? Going out to breakfast is my absolute favorite meal, if after breakfast I’m just heading home.
Continue reading “Slow Down at Breakfast Time”Welcome to a Catholic Friday
When Fridays roll around one of the hardest things to do for me is to cook a meal for just two people. Oh sure, I could cook in my usual fashion, but that would create way, way more left overs than we could possibly eat.

Are Pampered Chef Parties still a thing? I wouldn’t know. These are the types of parties you attend when your kids are still kids. The invites seem to come from the mothers of classmates or women you know from the PTA.

It’s a Wednesday – and that’s a Wild Card Day for us. It means thinking out of the box. Sometimes you just gotta break the mold. But with Hubby, it also means don’t go to extremes.

I grew up in the shadow of a big city, Sacramento. While our mailing address said Sacramento, as a young girl tiny hamlet of Florin was truly home.

Every now and again, I like to reach back into my bag of past inspirations – like celebrating a particular state. Today just happens to be Hawaii Day. There are a lot of ways to bring the feel of Hawaii home, but the Filipino in me wants to celebrate with a delicacy that once was a symbol of wealth.

Growing up there are certain things you just take for granted without much thought to sentimental meaning. The 4th of July meant back yard barbecues, fireworks and running about with sparklers in our hands.

Saint Thomas should stand as a great example for all of us – those who have embraces faith with zeal right from the beginning, and especially those of us who have struggled with doubt.
