Get Inspired for a St. Joseph Table

Happy Month of St. Joseph!

One of our favorite ways to celebrate St. Joseph each March is with a simple St. Joseph's Table Potluck and Play with friends.





This year, we won't be able to enjoy this tradition on St. Joseph's Day itself, but I am hoping to do an early or late St. Joseph's Table, and, thus, have been looking back at photos from last year's table as well as from year's prior.

If you'd like a little inspiration for your own planning, enjoy the following snapshots from last year:

More pasta reminds us of the St. Joseph Tale originating in Italy.

Fish made by your son is even sweeter.

It is traditional not to serve meat, so we had beans. Fava beans would have been even more traditional.

Twisted and shaped breads, plus pastries are traditional, but we had few due to the number of gluten-free folk...

Fig pastries are traditional - and these are easy peasy!

We always make some sort of St. Joseph flowering staff.

Image may contain: fruit and food
An Italian fruit flag reminded us where St. Joseph's tables originated.

Since fruit flags are easy, more than one friend brought them to our potluck table.

Fig preserve is yummy and figs are traditional to the table. We had grape juice instead of wine.
