I’ve read her book, Sink Reflections, and at various times signed up for her email reminders. I’m currently working on getting my household cleaning routines in place for the fall so…

September: A New Beginning and an Updated Planner

August 30, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

It’s Back-to-School season and even though my children are grown, this time of year still feels like a new beginning. I think of September as sort of “January Light”.

Taco Frito Salad graphic

I love main dish/starch/vegetable/salad type meals but sometimes you just need a quick, one-dish dinner. Taco Frito Salad to the rescue! You can whip this up in about 15 minutes or less and cleanup is minimal – another plus for busy nights. It’s also quite versatile. The version here is vegetarian but you could easily…
