St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church

Today I will share a few pictures of the beautiful Christmas decorations in my church; St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church in Wilmington, Delaware.  It is an Eastern Rite church, with rich Ukrainian culture and beautifully sung liturgy.

We follow the Julian calendar, hence Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25th.  However, Christmas Eve is very special in Ukrainian culture, as well as in Polish culture, as at the sight of the first star the Christmas celebration begins with a 12 course meatless supper, followed by a midnight Liturgy to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Cream Wafers – Cookie Recipe

My next few posts will include the cookie recipes I have introduced to you in my cookie preview post.

I am starting with my most favorite cookies, the Cream Wafers. If you read the ingredients, you might not be able to envision how decadent these really are. They are very light and flaky, resemble a puff pastry, and practically melt in your mouth.

Broiled/Grilled Salmon – Recipe

I am not a big fan of seafood, but occasionally I do order it at a restaurant or prepare shrimp, salmon, or flounder, at home.

I would also like to remind my readers that when purchasing your fish, try to look for wild-caught fish rather than farm-raised or imported. 

Today I will share a very quick, simple, and delicious recipe for broiled/grilled Salmon.
