Such a rebel!

This is the third day in a row that I haven't followed my planned menu.  I know, I'm as shocked as you are!  Today we are hosting a poker party for a good friend and so my parents took the three older kids for a sleepover.  I decided to take advantage of that and have some India Palace for dinner.  It was so delicious (and filling!).  A few days ago I was googling some fun dessert ideas and came across this AWESOME recipe for Strawberry Margarita Pie!  I think I was out the door to buy tequila in about.... 3 minutes.  It was very easy to make but it did have to freeze for 8+ hours so you have to plan ahead.  You should all try it, really, it is THAT good.
