Thanksgiving Monte Cristo with Apricot Cranberry Dipping Sauce

November 3, 2019 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Thanksgiving Monte Cristo

One of my favorite Thanksgiving food leftovers is a good ol’ turkey sandwich on white bread with mayonnaise and cranberry sauce. But if you tire of these or simply want to take it to a new level, try this Thanksgiving Monte Cristo. Add an apricot cranberry dipping sauce and you’ve got something truly special.  …

I don’t know what happened to fall but I want it back! How is it already November and why the heck is it so cold? Fortunately we are going to Belize soon so I’m hanging on – barely. Let’s take a look at the LWD Book Club selection for November and try to forget that…

Menu Monday

I’m writing this menu late Sunday evening after looking at the week ahead. So far we don’t much planned this week and that’s a good thing. We have a vacation coming up soon and I have a long list of things I want to finish before we go. Such as…Christmas cards. Yep, I bought my…

October 25, 2019 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Scalloped Potatoes

Is there anything better than tender potatoes in a rich, bubbly, creamy sauce? I think not. I could easily make a meal of homemade scalloped potatoes alone. Okay, maybe I actually have.   This is a slight adaptation of a vintage recipe from my old Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, the same version my mom…

Two Week Aldi Grocery Haul

Two week Aldi grocery haul

I’m now in a pretty good routine of grocery shopping at Aldi every other week and it seems to be saving me some money. I did this Aldi grocery haul last Thursday, rather than Friday, because I was in town that day for an appointment. We live 15-20 minutes out of town so I try…

Menu Monday

We have been having such lovely fall weather. Yesterday it was in the low 80s and I spent a couple of hours lying in the sun listening to music. Can it stay this way forever, please? Unfortunately…no. Later this week I see a couple of chilly days in the forecast and while that doesn’t thrill…

When you live in a small town it can be a real challenge to find certain items, especially organic and bulk foods. Fortunately we have a drop location for Azure Standard.

Is Being a Homemaker Enough?

October 16, 2019 By Deanna Piercy 17 Comments

Is being a homemaker enough?

Is being a homemaker enough? One of my favorite YouTubers recently asked that question and it struck a chord with me. Is it? I suppose the short answer is…maybe. But let’s delve a little deeper. Is Being a Homemaker Enough? There was a time when few questioned whether being a homemaker was “enough”. Men went…

Menu Monday

Did you enjoy last week’s Menu Monday ~ 1940s Style? We had so many leftovers that I didn’t end up making everything planned so you’ll see a couple of repeats in this week’s menu. Dee’s Menu  Monday I have a 5:15 meeting and David has one at 6. I think I can time this so…
