Dinner Time Needs A Bit of Color

We all need a little more color and inspiration in our days, don’t you think so? Personally, I have always loved the bright colors of Fiestaware at dinnertime. What about you?

Consider setting a colorful table with your own Fiestaware or with place settings like the ones shown below. It will make your dinner table a little happier.

How About Lunch?

If you’re now working from home, making lunches for a family in the middle of the day, can be a huge challenge.

Consider adding extra chicken to the crockpot and then serve tacos for dinner and nachos for lunch the next day. The kiddos will love it!
