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 today's show... Char and I discuss the past week and all the wonderful meals that we have had. We also talk about an excellent movie that we watched last night: Julie & Julia.
Join us for food, fun, and family here at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!
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:
On the menu at the Catholic Foodie... Prayer, and the book by Jim Beckman, God, Help Me. Warning: this book causes me to get a bit personal. I hope you don't mind. Also, we look at "Cooking Up a Storm," & the kids share a bit about their summer. AND don't forget to VOTE for the Catholic Foodie in the Catholic New Media Awards.
It's been a long time coming. Yes, this is finally the SousChef! review I have been promising you for months.
I am sorry it has taken so long, but there really hasn't been a lack of content for the show, and I really don't want the episodes to be too long... so I have been pushing back this review.
It is a great Mac application! It is so versatile and easy to use. I can't recommend it enough.
Check out the review and let me know what you think.
As I have said before, I love cookbooks. And I have many "favorites."
If a cookbook is nothing more than a collection of recipes, I am usually not very impressed. I have many such cookbooks. Some of them remain on my shelf untouched. Others I look through from time to time because they really do contain wonderful recipes. But what I really want is a good story. Or, better, a bunch of good stories.
I love cookbooks.
I never really follow a recipe exactly, but I find so much inspiration and good ideas in cookbooks that I just can't get enough of them.
A publisher recently sent me a cookbook to review. I am not finished reading it (and practicing with it!), but so far I am very much impressed. I want to share one recipe with you today. I love this recipe!
Sensation Salad. Ever heard of it?
Are you a blogger? A podcaster?
Do you like to review books and/or DVDs?
Then you will be happy to know that the
is looking for reviewers!
How does it work? They give you a handful of books or DVDs to choose from. Pick one. They ship it to you free of charge. You review it and post the review to your blog, or discuss it on your podcast. Then, repeat the process. It's that simple.
Ever heard of Abita Beer? I certainly hope so!
We have reviewed both the Abbey Ale and the Strawberry Harvest Lager in previous shows.
In this episode, I take you to the Abita brewery to meet Mr. David Blossman, the President of Abita Brewing Company.
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!
If you like what you see and hear at the Catholic Foodie, please consider leaving a tip!
Thank you!

"Like food? Want to learn more about your faith? Jeff is personable, easy to listen to, and very knowledgeable about both subjects." - Mike
"Jeff does a fantastic job blending a love of food with a passion for his faith. I always look forward to a new episode - Keep up the good work!" - Lisa
"I'm not a cook, though I like to eat. I do love learning about my Catholic faith, though. I didn't expect to become a big fan of the Catholic Foodie as I have; Jeff makes me want to try my hand at some of the cooking and recipes. It's not JUST about food, though, and his perspective on faith is valuable catechesis, and I appreciate every show." - Sarah
"The Catholic Foodie is an excellent show about food and our Catholic Faith." - Anonymous
"Jeff's podcast is very enjoyable. He does a great job of relating food to faith and vice versa. I especially love the episodes about coffee! Keep up the good work!" - JoAnna
"It's great to hear a podcast that's relaxing and low-key. Love the soft jazz music you use." - Fr. Jim
"Though he doesn't live in New Orleans proper, Jeff Young's love of food, cooking and God is influenced by this Catholic city in which delicious meals abound! If you are interested in how the Church's past and present history intersects with food, this is the podcast for you. Young's talents as an educator shine through; he explains concepts in a lively way that never sounds preachy." - Soyviz
"More exciting than Sunday sports channels, more invigorating than a Swedish massage, and more inspiring than a full set of 1955 Funk and Wagnell Encyclopedias… or the hardcover edition Code of Canon Law! Grab a cup of java, or maybe a good glass of vino, and come on down and spend some time with the Catholic Foodie… Where food meets faith!" - Bro. Jer
