When I was a kid, my absolute favorite meal, was Tuna Pea Wiggle. Honestly, I thought maybe my mother or grandmother made up the name for this recipe. But no, it turns out ‘wiggle’ is a real term, for ‘cream sauce’. I think that just having the word ‘wiggle’ in the name of this dish, is enough to intrigue any silly kid. Having crackers for dinner, may be another plus. At least, that’s how we make it. There are other variations I’ll mention after, but my kids and our whole family, LOVES Tuna Pea Wiggle, just as much as I do. As Catholics, this is a great meatless meal for the days of abstinence of Lent, and we… Continue reading
The other night, my husband said he was making his chili and cornbread for dinner. The whole house bursted out in cheer, except for me. I am TIRED of that. I said so. He said, “Have you got any better ideas?” And I said, “Not yet, but I’ll get one!” I found a fine variation that would give me something new, yet keep the family happy with something similar. It was a HUGE, huge hit. There was plenty left over too, so I loudly announced, “The leftovers are mine until they’re gone! Called it!” ; ) I’m fast like that.
This is SO easy to make!! Especially if you can get your husband to… Continue reading

It’s Sunday night. Sundays are our family’s favorite day of the week. And today, like all Sundays, was filled with all of the reasons why. On Sundays, we have a somewhat leisure morning, and then we attend the last mass of the morning. Following mass, we chat with some people, and then we spend the day living out whatever plans we had for that Sunday. Today that plan was: 1) working on the house a little more, 2) cooking a pot roast, and 3) making donuts. And with a little luck, maybe I would have time to 4?) do a couple long overdue blog posts.
Well, it’s been pouring rain all day, but it… Continue reading
We had one of the best dinners of the season this past Saturday night, and for the most part, we can thank one man:

In The Big Picture section, we recently posted our trip the the Farmer’s Market this past Saturday morning, and our stop at Walter’s Specialty Foods stand. That’s ‘the man’ behind the table there….Philemon Walters. Phil sells a fine line of specialty items that can really put the magic in your cooking! I told you all that we bought 3 things from Phil, and I’m about to tell you about 2 of them in this post!

Caribbean Spice Rub. We’ve tried… Continue reading

Here’s a delicious meatless meal for the Fridays of Lent, or for any day, for either lunch or dinner! My kids love most vegetables, so these pocket sandwiches are always a real hit with them! They always cheer when they ask what we are having, and they always ask for 2nd one!
I didn’t take any photos in the early stages, as I usually do just for fun. But I think you’ll be able to follow along just fine without them.

Here is the Egg Bake we’ve been making that some of you requested we post. It’s quick and easy! Promise!
