Mother’s Day is for mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, godmothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, and all the special women in our lives who act as our mothers.
Mother’s Day is a perfect time to express your feelings and appreciation to any and all of the special women in your life.
Mini Quiches are the perfect addition to your family’s breakfast menu or a group brunch.
You can make them vegetarian, or add your favorite meat, such as bacon chips, cooked ground turkey, ham, Italian Sausage, etc.
Quiche sounds complicated to prepare, but on the contrary, I would categorize this dish preparation as Cooking 101.
It is also such a versatile dish as it may be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or brought to a party.
Easter is such a beautiful holiday, but here in the US, it does not even get close to the vast recognition that Christmas is showered with.
My family and I feel very lucky to be familiar with and able to practice the Ukrainian Easter traditions. Besides the 40 days of the Great Lent and the different church services from Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday, there is the traditional Easter Basket Blessing, which takes place at our church on Holy Saturday, or right after the Sunrise Easter Sunday Liturgy in other parishes.
The Easter Basket of special foods (described below) is arranged on Holy Saturday and taken to church, where the parish priest performs a special blessing ceremony with prayers and sprinkling with Holy Water. Some churches perform their basket blessing on Easter Sunday, after the Morning Resurrection Liturgy.
