This page will be added to every few days, covering a variety of topics from our monasteries - recent events, projects, recipes, and just about anything else. It will occasionally include some of what life was like in Nodaway County just before the turn of the century. Randomly selected recipes will be posted here from time to time, along with an entry from the Daybook. Entries made over a century ago in the community's Daybook serve as a reminder of what everyday life was like within the monastery of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.
Directions Add carrots and sugar to diced apples.
To plump raisins, cover with boiling water and let stand a few minutes. Mix with 2 or 3 tablespoons of salad dressing and add walnuts. The complete recipe book, Memorable Monastery Meals , is available from any of our monasteries. Divine Providence wished it this way. A glance back into the middle of the last century may, however, give a little light.
