Rachael Ray Roundup

So excited to report that we will be heading down to San Diego this week for a much needed vacation. We rented a little beach house and plan on taking Darcy to play in the water every day! I also plan on eating California burritos from my favorite Mexican place. They put freaking french fries in them, people! And the tortillas just don't exist outside of San Diego. Man, can't wait!

Here are some Rachael Ray posts from around the blogosphere this week. If you see a post that you think would be good for the Roundup, or you write one yourself, e-mail me (everythingrachaelray at gmail dot com) so I can be sure to include it.
