So Lucky...

To have such awesome girlfriends down here in San Diego! 

I must say, girls nights are good for the soul...  

It makes living far away from my family so much easier!

We get together once a month for a "recipe night". Each time is a new food-centered theme and we all take turns hosting. Last night my lovely friend Rachel hosted. I knew Rachel and I were meant to be friends because the first time I met her she brought homemade rice pudding made with real vanilla beans to a BBQ. Right up my ally...

 People brought ingredients for a couple delicious pizzas...

 Rachel provided the crust, sauce, AND Italian sodas...

Who would have ever thought to make them at home? So fantastic!

 Kate made this very adorable and very necessary banner for the night...

I contributed a fruit pizza...

I'm always most useful when it comes to dessert.

Love these ladies! Thanks for a great night!
