Refreshing Glass of Milk to Toast St. Columba
Catholic Cuisine

3y ago
A very simple way to remember St. Columba (aka St. Colmcille) on his feast day today (June 9) is by having a glass of milk. Readily available and easy to serve - no prep or fuss. One of the pious legends of St. Columba's life involved him casting a demon out of a pail of milk. So toast to the grand Irish saint with a frosty glass of milk today.  St. Columba, Pray for us ..read more

Snickerdoodles for the Humorous Saint, Philip Neri
Catholic Cuisine
by Mary Machado
3y ago
St. Philip Neri (feast day May 26), is known by many names including the “laughing saint,” the “humorous saint,” and the “patron saint of joy.” This Italian priest and founder of the Congregation of the Oratory was a practical joker, as exemplified by him showing up to an event with his beard half shaved off. He inserted humor into his homilies, was known to keep a joke book, and also hung a sign on his door that said, “The House of Christian Mirth.” In all things St. Philip maintained a light-hearted view of the world, using humor to keep him from being too prideful or vain.  For St ..read more

Homemade Eclairs for St. Therese
Catholic Cuisine
by Charlotte (WaltzingM)

Eclairs are known to be the favorite treat of St. Therese of Lisieux, so after binge watching some early episodes of that British baking show, I decided to try a recipe that I had been admiring for a while but was too afraid to try: Homemade Eclairs with Peanut Butter Mousse from Sally's Baking Addiction. I don't think St. Therese ever had Peanut Butter Mousse eclairs, but I think she would have loved them! CHOUX PASTRY 1/2 cup (115g; 8 Tbsp) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces 1/2 cup (120ml) water 1/2 cup (120ml) 2% or whole milk 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 1 cup (125g ..read more

Mary's Crown - Queenship Salad
Catholic Cuisine
by Mary Machado
3y ago
Bachelor's Button, or Cornflower, is an annual flowering plant in the aster family, with florets that are edible and may be used fresh in salads.  Its jagged frilly petals remind one of an ornate crown and because of that it also has a Marian connection – often called Mary's Crown. Traditionally blue, they also come in many different color variants. The blue ones especially are a Marian color.   Because of these connections, the flowers make a beautiful and symbolic addition as a garnish to a Marian summer salad.  Its name as Mary's Crown is particular fitting for a salad ..read more

Flower Fruit Sandwiches for Our Lady
Catholic Cuisine

O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today! Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May. Earlier this month I ran across a photo of some lovely flower covered sandwiches and was inspired to try something similar with my children in honor of Our Lady during her month of May. Due to the pandemic and stay-at-home order I used what I happened to have on hand, so some of our fruit was frozen instead of fresh, but they still turned out lovely!  To make the sandwiches we simply trimmed the crusts off of some white bread, spread some homemade whipped cream over the bread, and then decorated ..read more

St. Brigid Irish Tater Tot Nachos
Catholic Cuisine
by Mary Machado
4y ago
St. Brigid feast day is February 1. National Tater Tot day is February 2.  When two dates collide and an idea is born. I have a soft spot for the tater tot. It originated at Ore-Ida Labs in the area where my family lived in Eastern Oregon. And this year in September they are having the first annual Tater Tot festival.  So when I made a chance discovery that National Tater Tot Day was the day after St. Brigid's feast is seemed a perfect pairing. The idea of tater tots as a substitute for chips to make a potato "nacho" (or totchos) is making the rounds as an appetizer. And the potato is an I ..read more

St. John Bosco's Candy Juggling Balls
Catholic Cuisine
by Mary Machado
4y ago
St. John Bosco, patron of educators and a spiritual father to boys in need, has his feast day today, January 31. He is known for having used magic tricks and juggling to entertain the youth he wanted to draw closer to God. St. John Bosco was a skilled showman and crowds would be drawn to him. During his performance, he would stop to teach and people would stay to listen to his message. It is also said that he kept candy in his pockets as treats for the boys, and even “turned" pebbles into candy with illusion. For those reasons, I am sharing this idea of a simple treat to celebrate his feast ..read more

St. Agnes Little Lamb Popcorn Snacks
Catholic Cuisine
by Mary Machado
4y ago
I have seen this idea for sheep-themed birthday parties and thought it would make a nice and simple (and healthy) feast day snack idea of those saints associated with sheep or who have a sheep/lamb as a symbol. This week is the feast of St. Agnes (January 21), who is usually depicted holding a lamb to represent her virginity. Fill small baggies with popcorn, tie the baggie closed, and tape on paper lamb head using this template or have your children draw their own.  I taped the corners to the back to make sure it retained the rounded shape. Other saints with lambs/sheep symbol including th ..read more
