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…

Recipe: Buttery Nut Toffee
Buttery nut toffee – because it’s good. If you make this, get ready to share since it’s so good you’ll want to eat it all up yourself, which might not be the best thing. I made this recipe using white sugar and each time I can’t seem to get the butter to brown as much as I would like – so I tried it with brown sugar and it turned out perfect. The only down side, I didn’t catch any pictures. Trust me, though, brown…

Sewing: Week Nine Tea and Lunch Napkins
Tea and lunch napkins. What makes them tea and lunch napkins? The size. Your traditional dinner napkin is around 18-20 inches. These ones are cut at 16 and finish around 15.5 inches. You could certainly use them for a more casual dinner, like tacos or lasagna, but not for something a bit more formal, like roasted lamb. Although, if you were in a pinch, a napkin is better than no napkin! The best part about these napkins is that they are up-cycled from two high…
