SQPN

Prayer before meals, great people that I met & dined with at the CNMC, the ingenious ideas of Dane Falkner (of divineoffice.org fame), and hitting the pub with Lino and friends... Plus a recipe for Abita Amber Beer Jerk Chicken and a review of the cookbook Saints at the Dinner Table. Good stuff! Feedback: 985-635-4974.

On the show today:

• my initial thoughts from the CNMC
• a new format for the Catholic Foodie
• 5 cheap red wines that you can buy without feeling cheap
• recipe for arroz con pollo (made with Abita beer)

On the show today... A LIVE recording of the Catholic Foodie Superbowl pre-game show. You don't want to miss this!

You will get to hear my prediction of which team will be victorious (and I end up being right, ya know!). And I am joined by Adolfo Rodriguez who shares a wealth of Saints facts and Catholic tidbits. He is also an avid foodie. We just can't seem to stop talking about food! And, for the first time ever, we actually EAT on the show!

Goodness, our kids love to eat! And they love to cook too! Today we discuss kids in the kitchen and how cooking together can strengthen family relationships. Join me and Rebecca Lindamood (of foodiewithfamily.com) here at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!

Don't forget to check out Rebecca's two awesome blogs:

I Could Eat That

On the menu today... a mega seafood blowout with Big D, a long-overdue date night with my honey, our Lebanese New Year's celebration (complete with grape leaves and hummus!), and the Epiphany (with a heads-up towards Mardi Gras!). We also have our first "Weekly Blog Post Recap," and we announce the winner of our contest for the book set of Time Management: A Catholic Approach.

Oh, and did I mention that Char co-hosts this show with me?

Join us here at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!

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.

You are going to love this interview!

Fr. Larry Richards, author of Be A Man! Becoming the Man God Created You to Be, joins us on the show today. If you haven't read the book yet, you need to! It is lighting a fire under my behind! And I am getting hungrier and hungrier for the Word of God.

This is from the back cover of the book:

I got skillz. Lots of skillz. Like prayin' skillz, teachin' skillz, motorcycle-ridin' skillz, Spanish-speakin' skillz, web development skillz, spellin' skillz... Lots of skillz! But time management skillz ain't one of 'em!

I need help!

And, thanks be to God, I get some help on this episode.

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!

We are in the Year of the Priest. And I want to share some great news with you about one priest in particular... and his new Family.

Just this past week Fr. Michael Harrington, a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Boston, professed the vows of Poverty, Chastity, Obedience, and Fidelity to the Pope according to the statutes of the Institute of Jesus the Priest, a branch of the Pauline Family founded by Blessed James Alberione.

On the menu this week... We have some voice feedback that leads us into another discussion of the Holy Family Institute, particularly the Vow of Poverty. I also share with you the experience of renewing our vows Saturday (on our 11th wedding anniversary). And guess what! Char joins us on the show to discuss this topic! Woo hoo!

Bones? St. Mary Magdalene?

Yes, that's right! I had the awesome privilege of venerating the tibia of St. Mary Magdalene tonight! As a matter of fact, my whole family had that privilege.

Listen to hear more about it... and to hear about Sunday's episode of the Catholic Foodie. We are going to talk about All Saints and All Souls, relics, Purgatory and the poor souls... and a few other surprises.

Be sure to join me Sunday, November 1st at 3PM Central on Ustream.

Tricks, treats, Halloween goodies... Oh, and then there's death and life, the Souls in Purgatory, and an important comment on ABC's FlashForward.

A question from Nick Padley of In Between Sundays podcasts leads us into a discussion about how to eat healthily despite our busy lives. I also share some feedback and make a few announcements (including a new contest!).

Here are a few of the links I mentioned on the show, and a few resources for preparing healthy meals on the go:

Eating Healthy "On the Go"

Are you too busy to eat well? Well... I want to hear about it!

Call me at 985-635-4974 and leave a message. I might just play it on Sunday's show.
