Nine months from today we will once again celebrate Christmas – the birth of our Savior. That can only mean one thing of two things.

First lets get the Feast of Saint Gabriel out of the way. Prior to Vatican II and it’s many simplified changes in the traditional observances of the faith, three of the most predominant Archangels – Gabriel; Raphael and Michael each had their own feast day.

Hey there – welcome to this beautiful day in March. It’s National Chips and Dip Day. So glad because I get to resurrect yet another family favorite that’s been collecting dust, all but forgotten since it first appeared here in my kitchen in December 2019.
Continue reading “A Blast from the Past for Chips and Dip Day”Welcome to the Last Lenten Friday
Today is the last Friday of the Lenten Season. While some people count Good Friday as the last Friday of the season, actually it’s not. The Lenten Season ends with the evening Mass of Holy Thursday. It is the Lord’s Supper, and it ushers in the Holy Triduum. More on that later.
Continue reading “Welcome to the Last Lenten Friday”Another Tuscan Thursday
Today is the 21st day of March. It’s California Strawberry Day, Corn Dog Day and Crunch Tacos Day. It’s also Thursday. In our house, unless trumped by a Holy Feast Day or big National Holiday like Thanksgiving, an Italian Inspired Supper will usually grace our table.

Welcome to spring! Spring and fall are my two most favorite times of the year. Both for the same reason. Color. Breezy days. And the foods of these seasons change.
Continue reading “If this is the Spring Equinox, Is it Sandwich Time?”Saint Joseph, Father and Husband
Today we celebrate one of two feast days to honor Saint Joseph, Christ’s earthy father. The full title of today’s feast is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The fact this this is a Solemnity Feast speak volumes of the Church’s regard toward Saint Joseph.
Continue reading “Saint Joseph, Father and Husband”Cheating Monday
In case you haven’t guessed by some of the backgrounds in my pictures, much of what I’ve shared with you recently were meals that were actually prepared well in advance of posting. There’s always good reason, such as last minute changes to a recipe because something isn’t working right. It gives time for tweaking.
Continue reading “Cheating Monday”A Pub Style Saint Patrick’s Celebration
It’s Saint Patrick’s Feast Day – that time of the year when the world is suddenly Irish. At least that’s what we see here in America. There are parades and even the Chicago River is dyed green to celebrate the Emerald Isle.

Good Morning! Are you ready for yet another wonderful Saturday? We’ve been galavanting about – took a much needed and unusually early vacation this year. Traveling is always exciting, but it’s great to be home again.

Welcome to the 4th Friday of Lent – we’re on the back side now. One more Lenten Friday, then Holy Week begins. For this particular Friday in the Lenten Season, we’ve shared six recipes over the years – half of those are for some sort of Tilapia dish. Hum, I sense a theme.
Continue reading “Pan-Seared Tilapia for A Lenten Friday”Spicing up Potato Chip Day
Today is National Potato Chip Day. I have this really cool slicer just for making your own potato chips. In all the years I’ve owned it, haven’t made potato chips once. But it does work well to get the most amazing paper-thin onions ever.
Continue reading “Spicing up Potato Chip Day”The Keys to a Good Samaritan
Sometimes I cannot help but to find it ironic that today we honor those called Good Samaritans. The word Samaritan today has taken on a whole new meaning. Most people don’t even realize that Samaritans are a Ethno-religious offshoot from the ancient Israelites.
Continue reading “The Keys to a Good Samaritan”Gotta Bake Scallop
Hubby is celebrating today. He adores all sorts of seafood, and scallops are at the top of his lengthy list. Until I met him, I had never eaten a scallop, let alone cooked one. You might say we have managed to broaden each other’s horizons over the years.
Continue reading “Gotta Bake Scallop”Eat Your Noodles!
Today is both Johnny Applseed Day and Eat Your Noodles Day. Noodles and pasta are the same, right? Okay, we don’t call Chicken Noodle Soup Chicken Pasta Soup, but we could.
