Yum – It’s Grilled Cheese Day!

If this recipe seems familiar, you’d be right. It’s one I made a while back for Kiddo and I. Since Hubby will be joining us, I’ve made some minor changes. We’ve elimiated the stronger cheeses; sticking with those that are mild and creamy. Hubby seems to be okay with that.

Submarine Day’s A Stretch

Today is all about two National Days. The first is Cheese Fondue, the other is Submarine Day. We’ve only celebrated each of these National Days once. In 2022 I shared with you a recipe for Cognac Cheese Fondue. The recipe itself actually took a back seat as the April 11 post was all about Holy Monday.

A Taco Filled Morning

Good Morning and welcome to a beautiful Wednesday morning. Before we get started today, I’d like to take a moment to wish my beautiful mother a Happy Heavenly Birthday. I know someday we’ll celebrate this day together. I love you, mom.

Deep in Thought on a Tijuana Tuesday

Do you ever talk to yourself? I do. I wander around the house, usually cleaning or working on a project, and I think out loud. That’s the only way to explain it – thinking out loud. I mean it’s not like having a conversation with myself. That would be crazy.

Dinner’s All in the Skillet

On March 25, we talked about the Feast of the Annunciation, which naturally takes place nine months before Christmas and the birth of Jesus. You would think that every year the Solemnity of the Annunciation would remain fixed on March 25. Turns out, that assumption on my part was wrong.

Have Mercy on Us

The Catholic Church trace its existance back to the very beginning. We have always acknowledged Saint Peter, the Rock, as our first Pope. What is a Pope but a Vicar of Christ. It is only fitting that the first Pope was appointed by Christ himself.

International Carbonara Day

What is Carbonara? I ask because today is International Carbonara Day. We’ve shared a couple of recipes now for Carbonara, but never discussed it’s history. Like most recipes, tracing its lineage isn’t easy.

Friday’s Deep Dish Pizza Delight

Deep Dish Pizza Day this year happened to fall on a Friday. Bummer. I talked with Hubby – no meat on Fridays in our Old School Semi-Traditional Catholic Home. I really wanted to create a Deep Dish recipe, but one he would like.

Hey, It’s Burrito Day!

It’s the first Thursday in April. Oh my – April!! The fact that is is already April is a whole other story. As the first Thursday in April, it’s also National Burrito Day. So now you know why this week we had Tuscan Tuesday and Tijuana Thursday instead of the usual themed days.

So Simple, It’s Amazing

Way back in December of 2022; I shared with you an Awesome Slow-Cooker Chuck Roast Supper for the 4th Day of Christmas and the Feast of Holy Innocents. Often when a recipe is shared as a part of something much grander than just supper, it gets lost along the way.

This Doesn’t Look Like Taco Tuesday

And you’d be right. Normally on a Tuesday we do something with a south of the border influence – just about anything Mexican works for a Tijuana Tuesday. But not today. And not because of some National Day, Church Feast Day or Holiday.

April Fools It’s Soylent Green Day

Who here remembers the Syfy thriller Soylent Green? Set in 2022, when the film was released in 1973, it seemed so futuristic. And now 2022 is behind us, without as much drama. The long and the short of the film was that by 2022 the world is overpopulated and over-polluted, resulting in food shortages. And the answer to the screen writers was obvious. Reduce the population while feeding the masses.

Praise Be!

Have you ever wonder where in the world Easter came from? I don’t mean the celebration of the Resurrected Lord on Easter Sunday. I mean the term Easter. It’s certainly not Latin for Resurrected. So how did Easter come to be known as Easter?

The Long Wait

Yesterday was Good Friday. Our alter has been stripped bare. The church seems sparse, crosses and statues are covered. There is no morning Mass before the Easter Vigil. The Church remains as empty as the world must have felt on the eve of that first Easter morning.

It is Finished

A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stick of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ Lips.
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
John 19:29-30
