This year, my husband and I are committing to complete at least one Catholic-themed book each month in hopes of broadening our knowledge of the Catholic faith and to find some gems of inspiration and encouragement. Here are the books we hope to cover. I will try and post a review as we complete each one. If you've read any of them, leave a comment as to why you liked or didn't like it!

A friend of mine recently gave me a beautiful book entitled,"My Sisters the Saints", by Colleen Carroll Campbell. Wow. Where was this book when I was graduating high school or in college?
Seriously, though. It was like this book was written just for me and every Catholic and/or Christian girl out there who craves to know God and His plan for her life, but has no idea where to begin. Or, she looks for God in all of the wrong places and tries to fill that void with ALL the wrong things! In today's hook-up culture and a society that tells women they'll only find total fulfillment in their career and not in motherhood or family life, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air.

Hello!
Hello and welcome to The Purified Palate! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Chey, a 30-something, stay-at-home mom. I grew up in a big Catholic family in a small Midwestern town. Things I LOVE: being a mom, exploring our beautiful and complex faith, my amazing husband, talking said husband's head off, sugar-free and non-toxic living, endurance sports, Beautycounter, sipping a good cup of coffee, music, reading, writing, and......NOT arithmetic. If I could go back in time to meet a famous person, I'd like to have a pint with C.S. Lewis!
