Recipe - Mild (Sweet) Curry Powder

All credit for this recipe goes to Adrienne at Whole New Mom, who posted it in 2011.  Don't get me wrong, I'm the first person to grab the McCormick Curry Powder off the shelf whenever a recipe calls for it.  This one, however, has so much more depth to it.  I keep a container of it in the pantry because we use LOTS of curry in our house.
