Just in time for shower season, a pretty pink dip perfect for celebrating a bride, a new graduate, or a tiny pink bundle of joy. The delicate earthy flavor of this beet hummus pairs perfectly with crisp vegetables and hearty crackers. Plus, it’s a cinch to make. Use white or yellow beets with just one red beet for that perfect pink hue. Beet hummus. Pretty perfect, don’t you think? Pretty…
I can’t take credit for these tasty nuggets. My mom made a batch and sent a container home with me a few weeks ago. They were for the kids. I ate them all. Oops. I thought I should make it up to them, so I made a batch. Then another. Then another. We have been having them once a week ever since. Partly because they’re so easy, partly because…
{Giveaway has now ended. You can find the recipe at the bottom of the post.} One thing I’ve missed since going gluten-free is pizza night. Oh sure, we’ve had a few pizza nights using frozen gluten-free crusts, but it’s SO not the same as homemade. And it’s not nearly as much fun either, especially for my little helpers.

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. All you need is a can of coconut milk, a jar of green curry paste, chicken…
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 up to a toasty 85 degrees.
