Weekly Menu

.
On this week's menu we have the celebration of two of our great Catholic saints.

St. Joseph's Feast Day is being celebrated on March 15 this year, so we will celebrate with our usual Saturday fare -- pizza. I am planning a special dessert, though. St. Joseph is revered by many Italian-Americans for his great miracle of the famine, so I am planning an Italian dessert. Well, it's a dessert from Giada de Laurentiis, so I think it's Italian.

St. Patrick's Day is being celebrated early as well, and we will celebrate the night before, on Sunday. I'm using my Beef Stew recipe and we'll call it Irish Stew for the day. I'm trying a new Irish bread recipe and a new Irish dessert. Both look promising. Whether or not they are really Irish, who knows?

The rest of the week I'm keeping it simple to focus on Holy Week. The first three days of Holy Week are dedicated to cleaning the house. So, my meals are fairly simple to allow more time to activities other than cooking.
