Arizona Restaurant Week is this week (Sept 17-25th). If you were planning on participating anyway, you might want to visit a restaurant at an SPG property to combine a nice three-course dinner for two + a hit in the US Airways Grand Slam promo.

Can anyone figure out what I did wrong here? This could have been something right out of Hannah’s Drunk Kitchen! (and no, that Hannah is not my sister. Though she would be fun to have in the family!)  Nope, not drunk. Just absent-minded. I could have a whole series called “Heather’s Absent-Minded Kitchen!”

Yesterday I decided to join Tasty Kitchen, the Pioneer Woman’s recipe site, so I could submit a few recipes. She’s got a fun community of food lovers over there, so I finally spent the time filling out my profile and submitting my red chili chicken recipe that I made earlier this week. The recipe submitting process for TK is a bit daunting for a [...]
