I had to work really hard to keep my envy at bay while all my NOLA friends were posting pictures of the fun they were having during Carnival season and on Mardi Gras. One of these days I absolutely MUST experience it for myself. But since this wasn’t the year for it I decided to…
Oklahoma Sky
I took this picture on my way to a meeting this evening: Isn’t that gorgeous? And I didn’t use a filter, either. Tomorrow I’ll tell you all about our Mardi Gras party Saturday night but right now David and I are going to settle in with cups of Earl Grey and watch Downton Abbey. We…
Menu Monday ~ February 11, 2013
Click here or here for more menu ideas! It’s Monday so you know what that means – menu time! And here at the Piercy house Mondays often mean red beans and rice, the traditional Monday meal in Louisiana. But before we get started, how about a little music? Monday:As I said, Mondays are a good…
My February Grocery Haul
Do you ever watch those grocery hauls on YouTube? Lisa told me about them and now I’m hooked. I don’t know why they are so fascinating to me. I guess I’m just nosy curious. I watch everything from vegans who shop exclusively at Whole Foods to those who buy a lot of processed foods from regular…

A Slow Month Update – January totals
January is over (can you believe that?!) and I thought I’d do a quick report on my “slow month” challenge. My last post was this past Sunday and I haven’t bought any groceries since. That means the grand total for the month is (drum roll, please): $137.81 I’m really pleased with that, especially since it…
Black bean burgers and homemade buns
I’ve made black bean burgers before (you can check out that recipe here) but I saw one which includes quinoa and decided to give it a try. Here is the link the original recipe but I’ll explain how I did it here. Ingredients: 1/2 cup quinoa about 2/3 cup chopped onion 1 15 oz. can…
Curried Coleslaw
I should have thought to take a picture but since I want to be sure I remember how I made this I’m going to write it up and share it here anyway. I used this recipe as a starting point. I had half a small head of cabbage which needed to be used. It made…
