Pizza night is back! {Recipe for GF Pizza Crust and a GIVEAWAY}

{Giveaway has now ended.

Chicken Curry in a Hurry via InspiredRD.com

I don’t know why, but I always seem to forget about how quick and easy it is to make a pot of chicken curry.  Or shrimp curry.  Or whatever-you-want-to-throw-in-the-pot curry.  This is something I should make more often because not only is it quick and versatile, but my family gobbles it up every time.

Lately we’ve been soaking up as much of our beautiful Arizona spring weather as possible.  I spend the early morning reading on the porch, covered in a thick blanket, sipping hot coffee.  The kids spend early afternoons in the shade coloring and playing.  But already by late afternoon, the temperature in the house is creeping [...]

While in Dallas last weekend, I not only got to get my bliss on, but I also had some good hang out time with my sister.  As she was driving me to the airport yesterday, I realized we had failed to take a single photo together.  So I pulled out my iPhone and attempted to [...]
