Oh, how we are enjoying our new kitchen!   We are getting ready to go to First Friday Mass with our Homeschool Group this morning and we just finished baking a Cherry Cheese Coffee Cake to share after Mass.   (I’ll add the glaze after it cools and just before we head out the door.)

We also just finished baking a batch of Pepernoten (Dutch Peppernuts), using the recipe found in Cooking with the Saints.  My girls had so much fun rolling the cooking dough into marble sized balls!

They turned out delicious and would be even better served with a cup of coffee or perhaps some “Saintly” Hot Cocoa!

You can find the recipe over at Catholic Cuisine.

Happy First Friday!

    Oh, Yum! That coffee cake always looks so good! And we have the same cookbook, so we'll have to give those little cookie balls a try. 🙂

    It really is the easiest coffee cake EVER to make! It takes less than 10 minutes to have in the oven and is my Hubby's favorite. We have it on Christmas Morning every year. 🙂

    As soon as my husband gets back from the market today with the "goods" I'm making this. Can't wait. 😀

    Okay. Just popped it in the oven and I have one question. The stone I have is 12 inches and it was barely big enough with no hole in the middle. So, what size do you have? I might try to get a bigger round stone this Christmas and I'm not sure about the sizes they come in. Thanks.

    p.s. my kids are huddled around the oven looking in the window with the oven light on watching it bake. I think they're a little excited. 😉

    Thanks so much, Jessica! I love the handles! That would make it so much easier to get out of the oven.

Prayer of Mothers

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.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
