Once upon a time, about a million years ago, my pantry was filled with Hamburger Helper, Tuna Helper and canned everything. It was both cheap and quick. Going to school, raising two small children and working full time, I used every shortcut I could find.

Today is the second Monday in October. We all know what that means, right? Here in America, we celebrate Christopher Columbus Day, which means mattress stores are having mega blow out sales.

Of all the miracles and apparitions surrounding Our Lady, my favorite has always been Our Lady of Fatima and in particular The Miracle of the Spinning Sun. But then again, I’m partial to all things Blessed Mother related. Call it a Catholic thing.

So glad football season is in full swing. I never, ever thought I’d be saying that. However; during Football Season I have time for myself. Hubby is glued to the TV. When his beloved Packers aren’t performing as he thinks they should, I wonder if I should increase his life insurance.
Continue reading “Tis Touchdown Season”Hey It’s Sausage Pizza Day!
Hubby’s absolute favorite pizza on the planet has to be Sausage and Mushroom. He might eat other pizzas simply because we are sharing, but if he were to order an individual pizza, you can bet it’s sausage and mushroom.
Continue reading “Hey It’s Sausage Pizza Day!”Is it Chili Season Yet?
As October approached, I found myself getting all excited. Autumn! Do you know where Hubby and I were on October 1? Working on our tans while lounging around the pool. It was another hundred degree day yet again!
Continue reading “Is it Chili Season Yet?”Simple is Simply Delicious
Recently when Hubby and I were shopping for the week, we needed to get some thinly sliced smoke turkey for a recipe. We stopped at the deli counter – $12.99 a pound – are you kidding me?
Continue reading “Simple is Simply Delicious”Yes More Tacos Please
Growing up, my Dad made the best tacos on the planet. He had a secret ingredient that has long since disappeared – Chorizo. My mother’s sister would send a tin of Chorizo from Spain every few months. I’ve tried over the years to find this same sausage, but no luck.
Continue reading “Yes More Tacos Please”Our Lady of the Rosary
Today within the Church is the Memorial Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Catholics tend to use “feast” as a way to celebrate particular days throughout the year. In reality, there are Solemnities, Feast Days and Memorials.

Do you have a favorite season? Mine by far has to be fall. I could go on and on about the crispness in the air, the colors of the leaves, the sounds of birds flying by. There’s the smell of wood burning fireplaces and the feel of wrapping up in a sweater.
Continue reading “A Beautiful Sunday Supper”Morning in Rhode Island
Today is National Rhode Island Day. This might just be one of the last times I’ll use National State Days as inspiration for my posts. I’ve been doing this for a few years now as a way to promote our amazing country without all the political rhetoric. It’s getting to be time to move on . . .
Continue reading “Morning in Rhode Island”On This Feast of Francis
Years ago, in a prior lifetime my best friend and I went to the movies to see Stigmata. Our children were in preschool together and we had some me-time on our hands. For reasons I cannot explain, the movie freaked us out.
Continue reading “On This Feast of Francis”Gorditas Round Two
Hey there, do you remember my first attempt at Gorditas? The taste was there, but the Gorditas were too thin to puff up properly and create those much needed pockets for filling. So here we go again – same number of Gorditas created from even more dough.
Continue reading “Gorditas Round Two”Have Supper with Guardian Angels
All you need do today is to turn on the news and the world seems to have lost sight of its humanity. Hate leads the way and clouds our minds. Now more than ever before, we need to seek out our protectors. Each of us, before we were even born, were given an angel of the Lord. Fear not.
Continue reading “Have Supper with Guardian Angels”The Little Rose and Home-Baked Cookies
We haven’t talked about the Little Flower (Saint Theresa of Lisieux) since the Pandemic of 2020. I think it’s time we talk about her again. Saints are people – just ordinary people who eventually surrender to God’s will alone.
