My Essential Daily Prayers book NOW for Sale on Amazon

Essential Daily Catholic Prayers book

Paperback

I just published a Book of Essential Daily Prayers to my Amazon Author page for whomever is interested. I think it turned out pretty good. These are my favorite prayers and many more. Also included some Scriptures to meditate on for comfort and personal growth. And some blank pages to write your own prayer intentions, favorite prayers and bible verses.

Digital

If you would like a cheaper digital version I have that too at my store. Obviously the digital version cannot have the blank pages to write in but it is certainly a useful book of prayers to have with you at all times.

Italian fig cookies Cuccidati

 My aunt's Italian fig cookies aka Cuccidati

Keep in mind this recipe is for a large quantity. 

Also this recipe was written down the last time I made them with my aunt. 

I wrote the recipe down as she was translating it. 

Make these Cuccidati cookies

Recipe

Mix wet ingredients and dry ingredients separate in large bowels.

FYI; sugar is considered wet ingredient since it melts into the mixture. 

Dry ingredients 

5 lbs. all purpose flour

12 tsp. baking powder

1 lb. Crisco 

Using your hands mix the Crisco in with the flour mixture. Crumbling it with your hands. You are looking for a pastry flour type of crumbling consistency. Mixing in all the fat completely. 

For the Crisco you may be able to use margarine but my aunt always used Crisco. If I made this personally I would try to use butter since it is healthier. 

Set aside 

Wet ingredients

5 cups sugar

12 eggs 

4 tbs. lemon juice

4 tbs. vanilla extract

4 tbs. orange juice

grated orange zest

Wisk together the wet ingredients. Add more vanilla, orange and lemon juice if you think it needs more flavor. 

Add it all together

Mix your wet ingredients in with your dry. Mixing well with your hands. Once it starts to stiffen up you can kneed a little on a board. Let sit, then you can shape your cookies. 


Italian fig cookies Cuccidati
For the fig filling

Use a food processor and blend 2 lbs. of raw almonds, or walnuts into the consistency you desire for your filling.

Set aside

Then add 2 lbs. of dry figs into the processor and blend until smooth. 

Process the figs and nuts together along with 1 cup of honey and juice of 1 lemon. 

Blend until desired consistency.

Needs to be think but not too thick. 

You want to be able to spread it somewhat on your dough. 


Let me know how it turns out :)


Thank you!

My Not So Popular Thoughts on Liberalism

Sorry, not sorry! 

These libs are so stupid because they can't see what right in front of their face! LGBTQ+? Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, hmmm who are we missing and implied in the +, here? Think people, it's pedophiles because there's only two genders folks! The only reason they (the powers behind this agenda) want you (the public) to believe in more than two genders is so hopefully you won't figure out that the + is referring to pedophiles. Ask yourself what would be the reason to teach this stuff to young children? What would be the reason to have drag shows for children? Wake up! They want to normalize sex, especially homosexual behavior for children and with children! These libs are insane! I will never vote for these Satanists! Vote conservative values folks, protect your children. Enough is enough! These dumb asses are destroying this country. One trip to target will prove it. And the only thing they care about is infecting you with their disease.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not to say that those dealing with same sex attractions are a disease, or that those struggling with some sort of identity crisis is a disease. It is the sinful agendas behind this which is the disease! God created every man and women in the image and likeness of Himself. Because of this people have dignity; the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect. 

This is no way means we love the evil that they may be doing or have done! This in no way means that we support all that they do. We as Christians can love a person but hate the sins that they commit. We love them enough to tell them when they are in sin so that they can turn back to Christ and begin a life with God. When it comes to sin, I am not here to say that my sins are somehow better than yours. 

But sin separates us from God and causes us to spend eternity in hell with the demons rather than God in Heaven. So not only do we owe it to God and man to remain faithful to Jesus Christ, but we also want to turn others down that narrow path as well. When we turn our backs on sin, we turn our back on goodness, love, and mercy. 

"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” So, faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." (Romans 10:14-17 ESV)

But what does the world do? It hides sin and tries to make light of it, even saying it doesn't exist. The liberals would have us never even use that word. They have destroyed sin by, calling it something else entirely, and destroying you in the process! But God wants us to call it for what it is, sin, which destroys life for eternity in hell! I know that is a bad word now too according to liberals and many liberal so-called Christians! 

therefore God gave them up


Jesus tells us that Satan is the ruler of this world and to not love the world nor the things in the world. DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD, do love people for the dignity that was given to them by God! 

Thank you!
