Menu Monday ~ May 2, 2016

May 2, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

As I look ahead to this week I’m not sure how much point there is in making a menu. We have a LOT going on, which you’ll see below. But I still like having a plan. So let’s take a look at what is happening in my household this week. Dee’s Menu Monday/Tuesday: David will…

Create a Beautiful Life With an Evening Ritual

April 29, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 9 Comments

A good day begins the night before. I think we all know this. A little preparation the night before makes our morning less frantic and much more likely to be the beginning of a good and productive day. Taken to the next level, creating an evening ritual finishes our day on a pleasant note, as…

Creating a Beautiful Life With Rituals

April 27, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

rituals graphic

When my children were little we had a bedtime ritual. David or I would bathe them and then dress them in clean pajamas. I would comb their wet hair, usually braiding Lisa’s long hair loosely so it wouldn’t tangle overnight. Following tooth brushing we would tuck them into bed and read a story (or ten)….

A Few Pictures From Our Trip to New Orleans

April 26, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m having a hard time getting back into a routine and catching up after our trip. We are unpacked and the laundry has been done but there’s still so much more to do. Traveling is great but re-entry sucks. So, because I should be vacuuming up two week’s worth of dog hair I made you…

Menu Monday ~ April 25, 2016

April 25, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

It seems like ages since I planned a menu. We were out of town for a full two weeks and now I’m trying to get back into the usual routine again. I’ve still got partially unpacked suitcases on the floor and a to-do list a mile long! Let’s start with this week’s menu, shall we?…

In Memory…

April 19, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Today we are in Idaho to honor the memory of David’s mom. I’m so very glad we took the trip here last summer to visit her. These photos from that trip are precious and will be treasured. Rest in peace…you will be missed.

April 18, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Good morning! We are still on vacation and I won’t be home until Thursday. David then leaves on a business trip and won’t be home until Saturday. Obviously a menu won’t be forthcoming from me this week. Again! Instead I’m going to share some helpful resources and links to some of the food blogs I…

Dee’s New Orleans Book Recommendations

April 15, 2016 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

New Orleans Books

I have no idea how many books I have read about or set in New Orleans. From the first time we visited the city on our honeymoon I was captivated and began reading anything and everything I could find about it. I was never much of a romance book reader but I would even read…

Corn Crab Bisque ~ New Orleans Style

April 13, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Corn Crab Bisque

I’m a sucker for rich and creamy soups. Add seafood to it and I’m sold. This is my take on a recipe for corn crab bisque I got from the New Orleans School of Cooking and it’s truly a keeper. It’s extremely rich so a small bowl with a hunk of good, crusty French bread is all…
