I had no plan for dinner tonight other than wanting to use up the leftover ham and cooked cabbage from New Year’s Day. I went to the kitchen, hoping to make some magic out of leftovers and was wildly successful. While it’s still fresh in my mind I’m going to write down how I made…

My One Word – 2014

January 3, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Chances are you’ve heard of the “one word” thing which has been making the rounds the past few years. The idea is that instead of making a list of New Year’s resolutions (or perhaps in addition to those) you choose a word to inspire you for the coming year. For 2011 I chose focus. And then…

A Merry Little Christmas

December 28, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I was determined to have a stress-free Christmas this year and I actually pulled it off! I lost about a month of prep time due to the asthma-attack-from-hell so I just scaled back my expectations.
