Book Review – The Temperament God Gave Your Spouse
I just love when God talks to me. I requested this book to review this summer from Sophia Institute Press as part of their blogger review program. And then it sat. And I read (most of) it. And then it sat. And then I read it again. And then it sat. And then, after spending […] Read more…
Recipe: Chili
Everyone has their own chili recipe. Some make it thick, my mom makes it thin, some make it spicy, some not so much. I’ve had to make substitutions because of holes in my pantry and it’s just not as good as it is like this. It’s FABULOUS for chili dogs or chili cheese fries- it’s […] Read more…
Book Review: Our Jewish Roots
Our Jewish Roots, subtitled A Catholic Woman’s Guide to Fulfillment Today by connecting with her past is a fascinating new book by Cheryl Dickow. I had intended to have a quick turnaround on her review when I got it back in JUNE, but it was such a powerful book that I knew I couldn’t do […] Read more…
Recipe: Hashbrown Casserole
This is a modified (really, does anyone leave recipes alone?) recipe that I got from someone for Restaurant Style Hashbrown Casserole. We think that the extra cup of cheese makes it much better — better than the Cracker Barrel, even! We frequently make it with French Toast Casserole and they cook in the same amount […] Read more…

Book Review – A Memory Between Us
I was thrilled when Revell gave me the opportunity to read the second book in the Wings of Glory series, A Memory Between Us. I loved A Distant Melody and was excited to see what was going to happen next. This book did not disappoint. I really love when authors have a series that can […] Read more…

Best Ever Sloppy Joes
I have made Sloppy Joes numerous times AND ways. Finally, my husband had to concede that yes, my mom’s recipe really is the best. If you don’t eat so much meat or want to be frugal, you can use lentils to stretch it further or substitute ground turkey and it is still excellent! You need: […] Read more…
