This past year has been busy and I have not prioritized blogging, even though I truly enjoy writing what has been going on in my head. After the Lenten season ended last year, we quickly began planning the Honey Badger's first birthday party, which my parents graciously hosted at their home. Most of the summer,... Continue Reading →
Rita Madden's book, Food, Faith, and Fasting, has been a guide and an indicator for me in using baby steps through the Orthodox Lenten journey. Our book blub covered chapter two of the book at our home, where we hosted eight lovely women who are on a very similar journey to my own (I am... Continue Reading →
So my brother (aka Uncle), the Honey Badger, and I went on the Bailly/Chellberg Hike earlier today (or at least a modified version of the 3.3 mile hike...more on that a little later). One of my bucket lists is to complete all 60 of the hikes that are listed in my book, 60 Hikes within... Continue Reading →
Reading chapter two of Rita Madden's book didn't come as seamless as chapter one for me and that could be for a multitude of reasons. I am still eating dinner in front of the TV. What can I say? Sometimes the Honey Badger is going to bed later and TBF still isn't home. It is... Continue Reading →
This year was my first Forgiveness Sunday experience. I have to say this is by far one of my most favorite parts of the church calendar (and there are some really neat Orthodox services that are mighty cool). Since the previous Sunday we said good-bye to meat (aka Meat-fare Sunday), Forgiveness Sunday is also known... Continue Reading →
This amazing Lenten stew is outrageously delicious (assuming you like mushrooms and dishes with a little kick). This recipe is found on page 163 of Dr. Joel Fuhrman's cookbook entitled, "Eat to Live Cookbook." This is a cookbook that compliments his main informational book called "Eat to Live," which is an awesome guide to help... Continue Reading →
March 6th this year, we commemorated the Sunday that is referred to as The Last Judgment. This same Sunday, Orthodox Christians eat their last meat-filled meals before the Lenten Season begins. More appropriately this Sunday is known as Meat-Fare Sunday. Meat-fare Sunday this year we attended at Decent of the Holy Ghost Orthodox Church, which... Continue Reading →
Things have been so busy the last two weeks that I cannot believe that I haven't posted anything for 11 days! The Lenten Fast started last Sunday, March 13...and with this fast comes some new recipes to try! TBF takes his lunch to work almost everyday. If I don't have a plan for breakfast, lunch,...

The third Sunday in preparation for Great Lent celebrates the passage of Luke 15:11-12 about the Prodigal Son (commemorated this year on February 28, 2016). I had heard dozens of sermons over my lifetime of this popular passage, but until I heard the sermon from Father Bill a week and a half ago and read... Continue Reading →
I am not even sure where I found this recipe, but it was in a book somewhere and I made it two days ago. Both TBF and I agreed that it tasted amazing and I am going to be making it on Saturday for my niece and nephews' birthdays. It's super easy! Ingredients: 1 package... Continue Reading →
