Feast Day Plans

We love Blessed Mother Teresa. We used to attend Mass at the home parish of a group of Missionaries of Charity who always showed up for the earliest Mass radiating love and charity. My girls would race across the church plaza to receive big hugs and smiles from these beautiful ladies.

Last year's celebration was remembered fondly by my kids so this year will be more of the same with a few exceptions. Albania is located just northwest of Greece, so the food is very similar to Greek cuisine. Since the walnut cake was more complicated than I liked, I am thinking of Baklava this year. And my children are demanding requesting more homemade naan. They like it served with cheese cubes and fruit, but I still plan on making some hummus for the grown ups. Chai tea lattes are still on the menu and loved by everyone especially with a scoop of whipped cream on top! We brew our own chai tea, but here is a recipe for an instant version if you want to try it.

Lastly, here are two coloring pages I made for the girls to choose from.

Have a lovely day and stay dry if you can!
