When I was a girl growing up, I thought all Christians were Catholic. The children I played with on the public school play ground were the same children who sat with me on Saturdays as we prepared for our First Communion.

Each Friday I put the final touches on our Meal Menu for the following week. Once the shopping list is printed, Hubby goes through the pantries, refrigerators and freezers, crossing off what he finds from the list to avoid any unnecessary purchases.
Continue reading “And It Didn’t Come from a Box”Okay, So It Isn’t Chicken Soup
Today is National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day. Now I thought about sharing a Chicken Noodle Soup recipe, but we’ve recently done that. We’ve also done Chicken and Rice Soup. So I thought we’d reach back into our catalog of soups and enjoy the most amazing Tomato Soup on the planet.

Wherever you are on this the 11th day of the 11th month, at the 11th hour bow your head in a moment of silence. Honor the men and women everywhere who answered the call to don a uniform and protect our country. Without them we might not have the freedoms we take for granted.

Here’s to the amazing Roast Beef Sandwich. Some trace the origins of the American-Style roast beef sandwich back to the 1870s and a dish commonly called “Beefsteak Toast”. That’s cold slices of beef, bread and gravy. Nothing else.

Today is the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome. It is also National Louisiana Day. Chances are, I’ll never see the Basilica in Rome. And the closest I might come to Louisiana is when we retire in Tennessee.

It’s funny how certain memories come flooding back. Do you remember the first time you ever tasted an Omelette? I do. It was on an airplane. Now I know what you are thinking – airplane food – that must have been bad!
Continue reading “Rise and Shine to a Spanish Omelette”Welcome to the First Friday
I guess it’s only natural on Fridays that my thoughts turn to faith. After all, as a Catholic I am keenly aware of the days of the week even now that I’m retired. I might not know a Monday from a Tuesday, but I sure know Fridays. Especially the first Friday of the month.
Continue reading “Welcome to the First Friday”Hey, There’s A Man in My Kitchen!
On the first Thursday in November, we are suppose to toss men into the kitchen and out of their comfort zone to make the family dinner. I really don’t know when this National Day was established, but it does seem a little antiquated.
Continue reading “Hey, There’s A Man in My Kitchen!”What’s Better than Take-Out?
Honesty, that’s a tough question to answer. Hands down, home cooking beats delivery any day. However; take out does have its advantages. For one thing, when we order Chinese, it’s not a single dish with some rice. Oh no, it’s an entire buffet!
Continue reading “What’s Better than Take-Out?”Deep Dish Taco Pie Take Two
If the filling for this Deep Dish Taco Pie seems familiar, you’d be right. We shared a Deep Dish Taco Pie to celebrate the end of September. I thought it was one of my best. Kiddo had a suggestion, as he usually does.

Not only for the season, but every moment of every day. Let us never forget.
Continue reading “Tis the Reason”Ode to The Earl of Sandwich
Would you believe the humble Sandwich is food fit for royalty? It is! While consuming a sandwich might not make you a king or a queen, it does put you in the company of John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
Continue reading “Ode to The Earl of Sandwich”Pray for All Souls
Have you ever wonder the reason behind All Souls’ Day? It’s a day to remember our loved ones, those who are not among the living. We not only remember them, but pray for them. Among Christians, praying for the dead is almost exclusively Catholic.
Continue reading “Pray for All Souls”All Saints Gets a Pass
Within the Catholic Church there are certain days that constitute “Holy Days of Obligation” that a Catholic MUST attend Mass. Failure to attend Mass on Holy Days would be considered a serious sin – a Mortal Sin. (Causing a part of the soul to die).
