MUSTARD We’re all familiar with: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed….Matthew 13:31“… Yes, the Romans made the first “mustard” by grinding the seeds into a paste and the Greeks used in both medicinally and … Continue reading Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing

Pasta alla Vodka and Giovanna and Jayne’s New Inspirational Cookbook
Well, it was all due to my having leftover vodka from making homemade vanilla that I decided to try Giovanna Trimpe’s recipe for pasta alla vodka. This from the new cookbook in her Holy Chow series of cookbooks, titled Holy Chow: The Hospitality Edition.

Halloween and Slow Cooker Meatballs – Boo!
I so enjoy talking with friend and colleague (and creative cook) Matt Swaim each week on the Sonrise Morning Show/Sacred Heart Radio. Today we chatted about Halloween and its “ties” to All Saints and All Souls Days. Lots of legends abound about the beginning of All Saints Day. From what I can gather, though, way back in the 800’s the Pope chose November 1 for … Continue reading Halloween and Slow Cooker Meatballs – Boo!

If so, and you’re the cook, I think … Continue reading Slow Cooked Pepper Steak
Redo Frozen Strawberry Dessert

Also I reworked the frozen strawberry dessert I shared a week or so ago. … Continue reading Redo Frozen Strawberry Dessert
BBQ Ribs
Today Matt Swaim, Sonrise Morning Show/Sacred Heart Radio, and I chatted about Father’s Day and St. Joseph, Jesus’ Dad. I made a big “whoops” – saying to Matt that I didn’t realize Joseph was from the House of David. I meant to say “Mary” (Jesus’ mother) because when I researched her, her lineage wasn’t clear at first. Of course, when she married Joseph, she became … Continue reading BBQ Ribs
