Today I was notified that I had set a personal record – most likes in a day. That’s great, or at least it should be, right?
Continue reading “Thanks for the Likes”Slow-Cooker Shredded Chicken Tostadas
What is a Tostada? I ask because I really didn’t know. Well, I knew but I didn’t know – does that make sense? It’s like listening to someone speak in your native language – the brain understands without thinking. I could make a Tostada without thinking, but if someone asked me to explain a Tostada, I’m not sure I could.

Today is National Cheeseburger Day. When you hear the word “Cheeseburger” does your mind wander? I know mine does, especially now, with the recent passing of the greatest beach bum that ever lived – Jimmy Buffett.

And we’ll get to that in a minutes. When putting the final touches on our week’s Meal Menu Plan recently, I noticed that I had scheduled Short Ribs at the beginning of the week, with Country Pork Ribs later that same week. I asked Hubby which he would prefer, since I don’t like to cook similar dishes in the same week. Just as I try to avoid two days in a row of chicken or beef. Variety is important.
Continue reading “You Know What They Say”French Toast Texas Style
I know what you are thinking – big deal, so you made some French Toast. Yeah, but this ain’t no ordinary, run-of-the-mill French Toast. The zest and juice of an orange seems to wake up the taste buds. Yum! And while the recipe says to finish with Maple Syrup, if you can find a Bourbon Maple, that’s even better!
Continue reading “French Toast Texas Style”Blessed Be Our Mother of Sorrow
Catholics have always held a long standing devotion to Mary, the Mother of God. As adopted children of God, through the act of baptism, Mary becomes our mother in Heaven. It is through this relationship that Catholics feel a connection to her.
Continue reading “Blessed Be Our Mother of Sorrow”Blessed Be the Feast of the Holy Cross
Today is the Feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross. One would think, by the very name of this Feast Day alone, that it must be a Holy Day of Obligation – a day Catholics are required to attend Mass. While encouraged to pray daily and attend Mass as much as possible, only certain days are days of Obligation.

I grew up in a bygone time. Many of our mothers didn’t have jobs outside the home, at least not the kinds that paid. They helped in the classrooms, ran the after school programs, kept the Little League on track, while the men did “manly things” like coach and empire.
Continue reading “Get Those Kids in the Kitchen!”What is in a Name?
In the days of old, the naming of a male child was a fairy big deal. There was a ceremony, the circumcision and a whole lot of fuss. This is why, on the 3rd of January, the Church celebrates the Most Holy Name of Jesus.

This is going to be a very long read, so before you begin, I suggest you grab a cup of coffee and find a comfy chair. It’s a tapestry, and those take a while to unfold. Ready? Great.
Continue reading “The Power of Prayer”Take a Moment to Remember
It is with such mixed emotion that many of us look back on this day. Our innocence was forever changed. It wasn’t simply the impact September 11 had on Americans, it was a pain felt round the world.
Continue reading “Take a Moment to Remember”A Special Sunday in September
We can thank President Jimmy Carter and Marian McQuade for National Grandparents Day. While it can be argued that this “made up” holiday is really the brainchild of the Greeting Card Industry, the value of grandparents should never be overlooked.
Continue reading “A Special Sunday in September”Boy, Do I Love Food!
What an understatement! Every person on the planet loves to eat. Some perhaps more than others. Food not only fuels the body, and feeds the mind, it imprints memories. Certain smells, like bread baking, might spark a memory of Grandma’s kitchen.
Continue reading “Boy, Do I Love Food!”Celebrating the Nativity of Mary
Catholics throughout the world have a deep love for Mary, the mother of our Lord. Often this relationship is confused with worship. We do not worship Mary as some mistakenly believe. We honor her, and her relationship with Jesus, her Son.

Isn’t it wonderful when three Celebrations can come together so beautifully? Today is National New Hampshire Day, National Salami Day and World Bread Day. More on that in a minute.
