I had the privilege this morning of being on Wake Up Baton Rouge Live on WPYR 1380 AM. Deacon Jodi Moscona, David Dawson, and I had a great conversation. And here's a secret: it looks like I'll be appearing regularly on the show, which broadcasts from 7:00 to 8:00 AM Central time on Fridays. The Friday shows are a light and fun way to kick off the weekend in the Greater Baton Rouge area. You can also catch the show online and via iTunes. 

This morning we did talk about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. A terrible situation. Devastating. The finger-pointing has begun, and I am sure it will get uglier in the coming weeks.

But we did have a fun conversation talking about one of my favorite topics: food! Since seafood has been on my mind because of the oil spill, I decided to share a recipe for New Orleans style BBQ Shrimp. My mouth was watering just thinking about it. I mean it. I could actually smell those shrimp a' cookin'. Mmmmm.

Lent, more fasting, bread (lots of bread! Including hot cross buns), a new segment on the Catholic Foodie (Mary in the Kitchen)... And Char and I take on more Lenten reflection questions... about Shawshank Redemption this time. All of this, and more, on the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!

Here are a few of the links mentioned in the show:

Well, I don't really love MacGourmet. At least not in the same way that I love my family... my faith... and, occasionally, an exceptional pizza from one of those deliciously run-down mom & pop establishments. But, I do have to say that MacGourmet ROCKS!

On the menu today... the Catholic Foodie Saints pre-game show with Char & Jeff!

We also have an interview with Executive Chef Manny Augello, feedback, and lots of banter.

Come join the fun... at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!

SPECIAL THANKS JORDAN for the awesome gift of Mystic Monk coffee and coffee mug that he sent me... and the great card! I love it! Jordan, you made my month!

What a fun episode! Not only did we celebrate the one year anniversary of the Catholic Foodie, but Char actually joined me as my co-host! AWESOME! The kids even surprised me in the beginning of the show with a song and with cup cakes!

Join us for a bit of fun!

It's that time again... Thanksgiving! It is just a couple of weeks away. So, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?

A turkey recipe, sweet potato & apple casserole recipe, feedback, a book review and more! That's what's on the menu today. I also share about our upcoming renewal of vows in the Holy Family Institute. Char and I are very excited about this! I hope to post some pics next week.

Here are a few links from the show:

Games, weight loss, saint's feast days, Mass readings, organizers, to-do lists, voice memos, note-taking and more! It seems that there is an app for just about everything.

A couple of weeks ago I issued a challenge for recipes. I asked whether or not we could contribute 10 recipes in 10 days.

Did we do it?

YES!

Actually, 15 recipes were submitted. Awesome!

Here they are:

Donna the Beachcomber Supper

Tarte Flambée

Today we talk about taking vitamins... Catholic Vitamins!

We also talk about recipes. How should we use them? Where do we get them? And how can we send more of them to the Catholic Foodie? :-)

I also share tips on finding great recipes online.

Bon appetit!

Don't forget to check out the recipes I mentioned on the show:

That's right! I need recipes!

One of the most visited areas of the Catholic Foodie blog is the Recipes page. I have so many recipes that I want to share, but many of them need to be entered manually because they are not already on the computer. I'm getting there... little by little.

I would love to hear from you!

God Help Me: How to Grow in Prayer... Jim Beckman's awesome book on prayer. Want to grow in prayer? Read this book! I talk a bit about Chapter 3 of this book.

Red beans and rice and everything nice!

You know, Louis Armstrong used to sign his letters, "Red Beans and Ricely Yours."

Plainly, red beans and rice is not so plain here in South Louisiana. It is a staple food, yes. But it is spicy, rich, and delicious.

More than just a way to organize recipes, SousChef actually helps you cook. This handy Mac app, developed by Acacia Tree Software, can do it all: organize and search, share via email and blog post, import from just about anywhere, and read your recipes to you while you cook. It will even make a grocery list for you!
