When Andrew and I first got married and were living in Hawaii we instated Friday Pizza and a movie night. We got the idea (and recipe) from the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver which if you haven’t read you really should. It’s a great book about food, eating with the seasons and growing our […]
