I've had a few requests lately for my mom's Chicken Curry Soup recipe which has been included in some of our past Palm Sunday or Holy Thursday Lenten Dinners. It's really yummy and I'm looking forward to serving it again this week! Chicken Curry SoupGarnish...
My Holy Week Missal • The Wonder Offering Back in 2009 we had our first Lenten Tea on Holy Thursday which eventually evolved into an annual Lenten Dinner on either Holy Thursday or Palm Sunday, depending on the year. We have a second on wither Good Friday or Passion...
I never did get around to sharing these pictures last year... As I was working on this year's post I decided to dig them up and add them to the blog too. Every year it ends up being a little different depending on the groceries I have on hand and how busy we are...
We missed our annual Lenten Dinners the last two years, due to a road trip over Holy Week/Easter the year before last and then trying to survive Hyperemesis Gravidarum last year, and honestly I came very close to skipping it all together again this year. This has been...
It's hard to believe that it's been seven years now since our first Lenten Dinner which was originally inspired by Alice's Lenten Teas. These have definitely become a favorite Lenten tradition in our home. As our children get older I've had to be a...
Every year our children look forward to our Lenten Dinners which were originally inspired Alice's Lenten Teas. These have become much loved traditions in our home over the past six years. It really isn't very hard to pull together and can be modified in so many...

Our Crown of Thorns (inspiration found here)For the past few years we have been enjoying special family meals inspired by the "Liturgical Teas" at Cottage Blessings. (Thank you again, Alice!!) Tonight we had our 3rd annual Lenten Tea Dinner on...
*I know it is all very similar to what we have done in the past, however this blog is mainly a scrapbook (of sorts) for my children, and a place for me to record what we have been up to, so I apologize if I seem repetitive. 🙂 Our oldest three...
We had another Lenten Tea (inspired by Cottage Blessings) this afternoon, just like we did last year on Holy Thursday. I had to make a few modifications, in addition to serving chicken broth and crackers to our oldest three who were very sick...
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
