Even though I'd like to say we're doing something traditionally Roman for the feast of the martyr Cecilia, the menu developed more from a desire to save money than anything else.

St. Margaret of Scotland and St. Elizabeth of Hungary
What a great pair! I love these two being back to back, though it does make for a lot of dishes to wash.
Our Feast Day menus:
November 16- St. Margaret of Scotland:
Scottish Pies (ground beef, seasonings, and some really easy hot water pastry) Next time I make these I'm going to up the sauce. It was a bit dry for my taste. I made these by smashing together a few recipes because I couldn't find one that was not in metric and authentic.
Roasted Red Potatoes
Spinach on ciabatta with cheese on top
Scottish shortbread ( This was a really good recipe. I tried to make my own designs with a knife and then with a toothpick. It kind of worked. I had to take it out of the oven to emphasize the designs when they were almost finished baking because they started to disappear. Maybe someday we can splurge on a mold.)
November 17- St. Elizabeth of Hungary
Hungarian Goulash (What else?!) in the slow cooker (really easy) over egg noodles.
Glazed Carrots
Beigli (if we're lucky) This is a Hungarian desert that features walnuts or poppy seeds. They are typically made for Christmas, so I thought today would be the perfect day to give them a test run. The dough is a risen yeast dough, so I'm not sure when I'll have the time for these.
St. Elizabeth of Hungary is one of my favorite saints. She died at the young age of 24 after having been married, been queen, had three children, become a widow, and lived as a servant of the poor. It encourages me that even though your life on this earth might not be that long, God still has plenty of plans for you to impact his world for the good.
