I have been making scalloped potatoes for many years, a dish I learned to make with my mother, but I did not think about adding green chile to the dish until years ago when I found myself with freshly roasted green chile left over from a batch prepped for chile rellenos.

I chopped the chile and thought I would add it as a topping to the baked potato bar as we were grilling steaks the following day.

Instead, I opted to make scalloped potatoes because I could make them ahead to serve later and that was when the recipe Read More

But when the real tough parts of a project Read More

Fr. Glenn: Little One, Arise

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

We are often amazed (and no less often humbled) by people who are willing to give of themselves to others, whether in material support or, often more impressively, of their very valuable time. And it can seem that those who are busiest are the ones most willing to give, much like the poor often support charities and their churches more generously income percentage-wise than those who are more comfortably well off.

But really … what is of more worth than giving someone in real need a hand up? Are such persons not the most cherished in our memories when we have been the one needing support, Read More
