We are in the Easter homestretch this week and Baby Bear is bound to show up one of these days. The week calls for easy favorites! I also can't wait to start trying recipes from my fabulous new cookbook birthday gift from T: The Indian Slow Cooker. Fortunately, I was able to find the recipe we are going to try first online, so I have linked to it below.
Have a wonderful Holy Week!

Happy 30th, dear friend! We are praying for a safe and healthy arrival of baby bear. Prayers!!
delicious week -- what a fun birthday cookbook too. Sounds like it was a wonderful weekend celebrating {love the popsicle maker too!!}.
I like the pasta ala Betsy too :)
Girl, you are a ROCKSTAR for planning out a week postdue, and with such a good attitude. That is the point at which I get bitter and shut down and make my family members bring me fast food triple cheeseburgers and take care of themselves. I take great inspiration from you. Have a wonderful week, I hope your baby will arrive.
