Often within the secular world are comparisons between Religious Feast Days or customs and those of pagan practices. This is a veiled attempt to discredit the Catholic Church without fully understanding the connections.

Hubby and I live in the fertile central valley of California. Our little hamlet is both the county seat and the largest city in Stanislaus County at just over 200,000 people. That’s more than I thought but far less than other cities such as San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Welcome to the last Sunday before the Lenten Season begins. As a child, I so dreaded Lent. It meant giving up something that was a luxury like Chocolate. On the bright side, doing so make those Chocolate Easter Bunnies all the more special.
Continue reading “A Beautiful Crêpe Filled Morning”For the Love of Peanut Butter
Many, many moons ago Hubby and I hung out with a couple who were much younger than us, but that didn’t seem to matter. Most of our friends back then (and now) are much younger than us. The wife was from Oklahoma, the husband a wild bush pilot from upstate New York.

Welcome to the last Friday of February. Not only is this the last Friday, but it’s also the end of the month. So this is our last chance in February to have an amazing Fish Supper. Enjoy!
Continue reading “On This Beautiful Friday”Oh Yeah It’s a Chili Day!
Every year on the fourth Thursday in February (that would be today) the powers that be declare the day to be National Chili Day. You would think, as a fan of Chili, that I would have shared so many amazing recipes to celebrate the day that you screamed Enough already!
Continue reading “Oh Yeah It’s a Chili Day!”A Mid-Week Family Supper
Growing up there were certain things we could count on at suppertime. More often than not, Sunday Supper was either fried or oven roasted chicken. Sundays were rarely a day spent with just the American definition of immediate family. I grew up in a house that didn’t know the meaning of the word.
Continue reading “A Mid-Week Family Supper”At Last The Crowning Glory
Here we are, at long last we’re reached the Crowning Glory. One of my very earliest attempts at Gourmet Cooking was a wine reduction sauce. Now it’s something I can do with my eyes closed. Although as accident prone as I am in the kitchen, that’s probably not a good idea.

Now I will be honest with you, when I was revamping this meal, I seriously considered what has become my Go-to Ain’t That Pretty potatoes, aka my Faux Roasted Mushroom Tops.

As many of you have gathered by now, I’m a list maker, a planner. Making lists, having a plan, knowing what to expect from one day to the next is my security blanket. Most people who don’t know me intimately assume I’m a lot of things that I’m not.
Continue reading “Simply a Beautiful Day”The Magic of My Golden State
I’ve been around more years than I care to count. In all that time, I’ve visited pretty much the entire Western United States, a few places in the Mid-West and South. But I’ve only called two states “home” for more than a vacation or lay-over to someplace else.
Continue reading “The Magic of My Golden State”Welcome to Pancake Day
Today is National Pancake Day. My Dad made the best pancakes ever. And that’s a good thing. He worked construction. If you know anything about construction, you know it’s not a year-round job. The rains of winter signaled a tightening of the belt as construction work came to a crawl.
Continue reading “Welcome to Pancake Day”Which Way to Go?
Today is National Muffin Day. When it came time to share a recipe for today, I will admit it was a struggle. Do I go with a traditional muffin or something wacky? In the end my traditional senses won out.

Have I mentioned that my guys are big burger fans? Saying that a guy likes burgers is redundant, isn’t it? Sure, girls like a good burger too. But guys could live of pizza, burgers and brew. The fairer sex needs more, much much more.
Continue reading “Not Your Ordinary Mid-Week Burger Night”Saint Bernadette and Feeling Joy
While the Universal Catholic Church will not celebrate the Feast Day of Saint Bernadette until April 16, in France they celebrate today. Typically a saint’s feast day is the day they died. It is not to honor their death, but rather to celebrate their new life with the Lord.
