Recipe: Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancakes
Gluten free buttermilk pancakes are good – so good they make Saturday mornings better. This is the second time in a week that I’ve done a recipe with Bob’s Red Mill products – I did gluten free pizza last Friday – and I have to say, it’s because his products are great. And, they are a wonderful company. Okay, back to the pancakes. I don’t follow the directions, my recipe is better. Let’s get started on making small cakes in a pan. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups…

Sewing: Week Eleven Knitted Striped Tank-Top
Knitted Striped Tank-Top Week eleven – knitted striped tank-top. This top is just like last weeks, except the skill is taken up notch with the striped. I have to tell you, it was intense working with such large stripes. Talk about a bit of pressure. I wanted the top to look as professional as possible which is why it was so important to match up all the stripes. Did you catch the post last week? Week ten was a beautiful spring rayon tank-top. Check it…

Recipe: The Best Gluten Free Pizza
The best gluten free pizza – it truly is. I posted this recipe a while back – gluten free pizza – and I’ve made some improvements. Necessary improvements. As you know it’s been a hard week, saying goodbye to Bella was tough, and still is at times. We’ve spent the week talking and sharing about our sweet pup and tonight we’re going to do what we did last Friday night – sit on the couch, eat delicious food and watch The Americans. Bella loved to…

Photos: Saying Goodbye to Bella
Saying Goodbye to Bella Saying goodbye to Bella was what we did on Monday night. Honestly, the most heartbreaking experience I’ve had yet. But, what makes it okay and what makes me feel at ease are all of the precious memories Bella left me with. She was an amazing friend who demanded my attention and tested my patience. She was also the cuddle monster, the earliest riser our house has even seen, and the chuck-it champion. Here are a few photos and some sweet memories…

Sewing: Week Ten Rayon Flowing Tank-Top
Rayon Flowing Tank-Top Just in time for spring. I did this pattern review last year and this time I tried it with a more fun, patterned fabric. Last time I was super concerned with the pleat at the back, not this time. Easy peasy. Also – I cut this pattern in a medium and made it work with 1.25 yards of fabric. Score! See how easy it is when you chalk mark out the pleats? Do this and you’ll be fine. It also works well…
