California is my home state. While I have never lived in SoCal, throughout the years it has been home to family and friends, a place I’ve visited often.

I know what you are thinking, it’s Friday – where’s our fish supper? Sometimes we need to post early, think ahead. The weekend is coming. Wouldn’t a nice supper be welcomed?
Continue reading “Just Thinking Ahead”An All-Day Simmer
Hubby and I have been together for nearly 40 years now. That’s a lot of suppers shared together. In all those years, with all those meals, he has always let me know what he’s thought of dinner.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, unlike other Marian Devotions that revolve around a vision or appearance of our Blessed Mother, is a devotion born of a promise. She is best known for the outcome of the Battle of New Orleans.

Here it is, the first Tuesday of the New Year. Wow, 2025. I hope this year goes by quickly. Not that I have anything against this brand new year, but I’m anxious to get to 2026. More on that later – much, much later.
Continue reading “Welcome to Tuesday”Its Sure Bean a Day!
Traditionally January 6 is the Epiphany of the Lord or Three Kings Day. It is the day the Magi arrived in Bethlehem. While Church outside of the United States still honors the traditional date of the Epiphany, in America this feast has been moved to the first Sunday following January 1.
Continue reading “Its Sure Bean a Day!”Celebrating Epiphany Sunday
Epiphany Sunday touches on several Epiphanies as to the divine nature of Christ the Lord. First to the Shepherds who were near Bethlehem at the time of His birth. Then to the gentiles through the Magi, who arrived sometime before His 2nd birthday. These were private revelations.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton holds special meaning to me. Not just because she was the first American born saint, but because both a school and a parish named after her hold meaning.
Continue reading “Good Morning to an American Saint”Most Holy is His Name
Reverence for the Holy Name of Jesus arose long, long ago, in the days of the Apostles. Saint Paul tells us that in the name of Jesus every knee shall bend. Glorifying the name of God, singing praises to the Son of God is not new.

We’ve taken different paths over the years to look back at the year that was. Everything from most viewed to least liked has been remembered. This year I decided to look at the new recipes I’ve shared with you each month and pick my favorites. No explanation, just my twelve picks. Enjoy!

I know, it’s not Friday. We could have a burger by the fireside or maybe a pizza. Yeah, but I just had to share this recipe with you as soon as possible. Let me explain.

Today is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. It is a Holy Day of obligation among the faithful. What better way is there to start the secular New Year than by attending Mass. It really gets the year off on the right foot.
Continue reading “A Holy Day of Obligation”Ringing In Yet Another Year
As many of you know by now, this year has been a bit topsy-turvy, to say the least. The farm up for sale, my Dad getting a divorce after 42 years of marriage. Life has been changing in the lease desirable ways imaginable. I am grateful to God for He has been at my side through it all.
Continue reading “Ringing In Yet Another Year”Is This Year Nearly Over?
Today is the 6th Day of Christmas. In years gone by, we’ve celebrated the 12 Days of Christmas. Not this time around. Four years running is enough, don’t you agree? If you still need your 12-Day fix, check out postings from the past.

A few years back, to honor the Nativity of Mary, I shared with you a beautiful Lemon Cake with a crown of flowers fitting our Blessed Mother. I know there are times when readers will skip over my Catholic posts. That’s too bad because they contain beautiful stories of faith and some amazing recipes.
