    Gluten Free Orzo with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers

    This Gluten Free Orzo with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers is an easy to make side dish or vegetarian meal.

    When I was a small child, my mother had my hair cut in the "Dorthy Hamill haircut."

    While Dorthy rocked this haircut, I most certainly did not.

    I was so mad when she did it and stayed angry about losing my long locks for quite some time.

    Now, as a Mom to a little girl that hates to have her hair washed, I totally get it. She was working and just didn't have the energy to come home and fight with me over washing my hair. Short hair is easier to take care of and quicker to wash.

    Skye is SO dramatic about getting her hair washed. She gives a whole new meaning to the term threenager.

    It is so bad that I try to do it when the boys are out of the house because they get so worked up when she is that upset. (And of course, I then end up with all three of my kids mad at me.)

    Today, hubby took the boys with him to the grocery store while I washed Skye's hair and the first thing I said to him when he got back was "I sure hope you got something stronger than wine."

    It was one in the afternoon, and I was only half joking. #TrueStory

    Gluten Free Orzo with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers

    So Moms of girls, any tips for getting your little princess over this hurdle? Because I'd sure hate Skye to be holding a grudge about a bad haircut 40 years from now. 🙂

    I'll be sitting here wishing I actually drank something stronger than wine eating this Gluten Free Orzo with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers if anyone has any suggestions.

      My dad really liked us girls to have long hair so I'm pretty sure that's why my mom let us keep it! And this recipe has so many of my favorite things in it so this is getting bookmarked!

      I have 3 girls so I truly know your pain! My girls have thin, straight hair in their younger years so we haven't had too many battles but even just having them brush their hair can be a dramatic event... :/

        Having older boys did not prepare me for the drama of a little girl. 🙂 I THINK she is getting better with the brushing but we have a long way to go with the washing.

        Thanks! You could easily use regular orzo if you aren't gluten-free.
