Comforting Simple Chicken & Rice

Mr. Awesome loves Chicken and Rice and so do I, my version is usually a little more like a Spanish Rice version but this is more of how he remembers it from his childhood.

Sourdough Challah Bread

As you may have seen, we have really been trying to honor the Biblical Feasts and Sabbath. A part of that journey has led us to making our own Challah bread… it is so delicious and not too hard to make. The most difficult part for me was learning how to braid it. Here is a great instructional video that helped me:

This is the basic recipe we use, but I will also include options for making other versions too.

Don’t have a Sourdough Starter? No fear, I will have another recipe posting soon that uses yeast instead of sourdough!

Comfort Foods for Cold Weather Cravings

I don’t know what it is about the cooler weather that makes me want a bowl of something hot, but I sure have been wanting some here lately… I usually have my cup of coffee in the morning, and then the weather warms up through the day, so my craving fades.

I wanted to gather our favorites here in one post so I can find them a little easier and share them with you… just in case you have those same cravings! These are also the perfect ‘comfort foods’ for sick days or times when you just feel a little down. There are a lot of chicken recipes, but that’s probably because our bodies crave the healing properties that come from broths, which we use a lot in different recipes.

Special Holiday Meals: Columbus Day Menu

Columbus Day is celebrated on the 2nd Monday of October…

“In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue…

We tried to do a little research to find out what a ‘traditional’ meal would be, but the results were a little crazy!


This is what we came up with:

Columbus Day Menu

Grilled Pork Chops w/Greens or possibly a seafood dish

Eggplant Parmesan or Italian Shakshuka

Caprese Salad w/Bruschetta or Breadsticks

Cannoli or Indian Pudding w/vanilla ice cream


Celebrating these Holidays gives us a chance to make history a little more interesting!

What do you think you would add to this menu?
