I made pizza in cast iron pans tonight. They were amazing, if I do say so myself. Here's the recipe I used. Just a note: I made the dough at noon and put the pizzas in the oven at 530, I hear it's even better if you let it go overnight.
At our parish, there is a gentleman who attends the vigil Mass every weekend. We see him and exchange pleasantries when we are also at the same Mass. In the summer, he sometimes has a pick-up truck bed full of watermelons and cantaloupes. Last week we grabbed a few and really enjoyed them. This weekend we were the...
I'm popping in to let you all know about a great deal Tropical Traditions is having on Virgin Coconut oil! If you buy $12.99 worth of items from the, you can also order a quart of virgin coconut oil for and get it for free. I like free. I also like the virgin coconut oil. This stuff smells great and adds a nice hint...
I made a tiramisu for our parish supper last night. (No pictures, sorry! Some day I'll get better at taking them.) I actually had people compliment me on it and at least two requests for the recipe I used. So here you go: Beth's Tiramisu 1 Sponge cake (I used the recipe here*, I used fresh milled soft white wheat and...
Yesterday we feasted while the Bridegroom was with us. After Mass we had eggs with bacon, potatoes and cheese, then worked on cracking some pecans for a cookie bar later. (Oh and watched the Red Wings lose.) Later in the day some friends came over and we did burgers on the grill. We make our burgers small, so you can...
Last night we went to Mass (which was followed by Stations of the Cross, Confession and Adoration, nice) so I needed to make something that could be made ahead of time but eaten as soon as we got home. Tuna casserole fits the bill for that need perfectly. My tuna casserole was a bit iffy when I took it out of the...
This year, I have been working on ways to make my grocery budget less of the "I have no idea what I'm spending each month" and more of the "I have $X to spend on groceries this month and this is what I did with it" type. As we were nearing the season of Lent, I was thinking of meals we could have that would be...
I didn't know if it could be done, but did discover today that one can make Italian beef in the pressure cooker. My original plan was to put it in the oven and make it this afternoon, but Joshua suggested that I try it out in the pressure cooker. I wasn't too keen on the idea as I had made pulled pork in it...
Wow, are these good! Just over a year ago, we started grinding wheat berries into flour at home. After a year of cookie failures or resorting to using store flour, for my cookies, I finally found a recipe I love. I've adapted it from the recipe for Graham Crackers from Food Doodles. This recipe is also dairy free and...
