I am very happy to introduce LWD readers to Terri Cheney of Blue House Journal. I first became acquainted with Terri back in 2005 when I started reading her newsletter, Penny Ann Poundwise. I don’t think she knows this but I used to print out her newsletters and have them collected in a three-ring binder….
Menu Monday ~ International Week/Pantry Challenge
Sometimes it’s fun to shake things up a bit. This week I decided to feature foods from different countries. Not only will this be a nice change of pace but it will help me use up some items that I have had on hand awhile – a pantry challenge, of sorts. So let’s take a…
Earth Hour Turns Ten – Will You Be Observing It?
Yesterday I received an email reminding me that the 10th annual Earth Hour event is coming up. For one hour, millions around the world turn off their lights as a symbol of commitment to the planet. I first heard about Earth Hour and observed it in 2008 which was the event’s second year. We’ve been…

This week we have everything from gorgeous country ballads to apocalyptic thrash metal, because the world is full of contradictions. “Women of the world, take over. Because if you don’t, the world will come to an end, and we haven’t got long.” Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting Life With Dee!…
Easy Cheesy Black Bean Enchiladas
We all need a repertoire of easy weeknight meals. And since many of us are trying to eat less meat, if some of those meals are vegetarian, even better. My Easy Cheesy Black Bean Enchiladas are both easy and meatless. Using canned beans and a jar of enchilada sauce means preparation time is greatly reduced….

Detergents, bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets all have potential issues. Not to mention water usage and energy consumption considerations. But we can take steps to lessen the…
Menu Monday ~ February 13, 2017
Valentine’s Day is Tuesday. Do you have special plans? In recent years we have generally opted to eat at home, saving a nice dinner out for a less busy night. Oftentimes I’ll cook filets but I found some adorable heart-shaped cheese ravioli so we’ll have that for our Valentine’s Day dinner. What about you? I’d…
The Wisdom of Grandma
If we are fortunate there will be someone in our life who provides an example of a life well-lived. For me, that person was Grandma. I grew up next door to my grandparents and spent much of my childhood in their home. I continued to spend a lot of time with Grandma until she died…
Timely Tunes ~ February 9, 2017
Another week into an increasingly dystopian world, but at least we have new music from Mac Demarco, Future Islands, and others to temporarily distract us from alternative facts and gum-swallowing hellbots. The final track on this playlist is by David Axelrod, the influential composer and producer whose grand instrumentals have been sampled extensively by DJs…
