April 28, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

What's For Dinner

I’ve got thirteen dinners for you this time. It does seem that all I do is cook and wash dishes these days. I hear others saying the same thing. I hope these What’s For Dinner posts give you some ideas or at the very least remind you that you aren’t alone in all this.   …

Aldi Grocery Haul

Aldi Grocery Haul

I’m back with another “lock down” grocery haul. This one is bigger than usual as I wanted to stock a bit extra meat and get some more fresh produce. I got most of what I had on my list this time. The only things missing were some coconut shrimp I wanted to try and I…

Victory Gardens: Is It Time For Them Again?

April 24, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Victory Gardens

I love the idea of Victory Gardens. During WWI and WWII, people were encouraged to plant gardens to supplement their rations, reduce pressure on the public food supply, and to boost morale. What a lovely…and important…way for individual families to do their part to support a cause larger than themselves.  Is it possible to bring…

Beef and Beans ~ A Depression Era Recipe

April 23, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Beef and Beans

There are a number of cookbooks from the Depression era which offer a treasure trove of frugal recipes we should tap into. Granted, some don’t fit with our modern situation – for instance, certain seafood items were cheap then but now quite expensive. And some were just plain weird – peanut butter stuffed onions? No,…

What Do We REALLY Need?

April 22, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

What do we really need?

No one will deny these are challenging times. Yet, ever the optimist, I’m looking for the lessons to be learned. One of those lessons is: What do we really need? That’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot the past several weeks. I’ve discovered that I’m spoiled…or blessed…whichever way you want to frame it.  This…

Aldi Grocery Haul

April 20, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 9 Comments

Grocery Haul

We are finding it easier to get a delivery time during the week so this order was from this past Thursday rather than Saturday. It was a fairly small grocery haul for a couple of reasons. First, I’m trying really hard to use what we have and not waste anything. Second, I had more fresh…

Haluski

We all need a few simple, low-cost meals in our repertoire and Haluski is a perfect addition. Cabbage, onions and noodles. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.

Rice, Bean and Lentil Recipes: Pantry Meals

April 17, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Rice, Bean, Lentil Recipes

I think we can all agree that a well-stocked pantry is a blessing. There is a lot of security in knowing that no matter what happens, you can at least feed your family. When it comes to versatility, you can’t beat rice, beans and lentils as pantry staples. These long-lasting foods can be prepared in…

What’s For Dinner? ~ A Dozen Meals

April 15, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

What's For Dinner

I’ve got an even dozen meals to share with you for this What’s For Dinner post. The only meal I didn’t photograph was the pizza we picked up a few nights ago. I had cooked dinner (and prepared all meals) for 38 days in a row so when David suggested picking up pizza – curbside/contactless…
