French toast is super easy to make - even if your gluten-free like some of us. So, it has become one of our go-to's for celebrating the liturgical year at home on Feburary 11, the Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Why French toast? Because Our Lady appeared in Lourdes, France.
And, of course, one of our toppings is always Our Lady's blue(berries).
We also sometimes serve something yellow - such as defrosted frozen mango chunks or chunked pineapple to remind us of the yellow roses at the feet of the apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes.
And to drink? Water, of course, which reminds us of the miraculous and healing spring in Lourdes.
For decoration at the table, we typically put out our Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette peg dolls from our Marian apparation set.

If you're celebrating, too, you might consider having an Our Lady of Lourdes Poet-Tea like we did in the past.

Some years, we even get fancier with our eats, such as they year we hosted an Our Lady of Lourdes Poet-Tea.
We also sometimes play our All Saints Day Build-a-Grotto for Mary game!

Always, we are blessed by our simple eats with the saints.
Perhaps you can enjoy similar simple eats and blessings!
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!
