Meatless Lents are great for learning new things in the kitchen and stepping out of my comfort zone I have found! Today I really wanted to make rice and beans, but I couldn't find a recipe that I had all the ingredients for, so I read a few recipes then put an idea together and this is what I came up with: 1/2...
Last Friday I attempted to make bean burgers but did not have all the ingredients to do so (mainly a lack of bread crumbs) but didn't realize it until I had already started putting things together. I was also going to make a recipe using quinoa but in the end decided to mix the two. Joshua was helping in the kitchen...
With Lent starting tomorrow, I thought I'd share this link with you all! Barbara over a Bless us O Lord put together a list of meatless meals. Thank you!!!
Last night we celebrated Joshua's birthday. He isn't big on his birthday but the kids would just die if we didn't have cake 😉 Joshua likes German Chocolate cake so I found a recipe for and was very excited to try it out. Here is Karol, waiting for the cake to be cut into. Pardon the drippy icing, I am still learning...
Today I had a nice meal planned out for the Feast of St. Cyril and St. Methodius, then a headache struck mid-afternoon. It was pretty bad and I planned on going to bed when Joshua got home, even though it was his feast day. I felt bad about leaving him with the dinner rush, so I sucked it up and got dinner started,...

I bought a box at our one and only organic market here in our small south Georgian town and headed home. It sat in the cupboard,...
....we had some friends over for dinner. It was an informal dinner, served buffet style. Sam and his lovely wife, Michele, shared a delicious Buffalo Chicken Dip along with a chocolate birthday cake for Baby Jesus. They also brought a bottle of wine, which is always nice too. We did a quick manger scene for the kids,...
Here are some pictures (with captions) from today's Feast party. The kids learned of the Battle of Lepanto and we ate cupcakes with ice cream. I am not sure they understood it all as during the lesson about the battle, Karol kept asking to get a glass of water. They were thrilled, though, that there were seconds on...
Chicken Fried Steak I was given a Fannie Farmer Cookbook for Christmas of 1990 from my Grandma Kress. It has seen it's time and was a wonderful help for me learning to cook when I was first married. It started to show its age a few years ago, so I put it in "storage". A few weeks back, while at Goodwill, I found a...
