Zucchini Pizza Boats
End of summer… Means creative summer dishes. But first, how the heck is it already September? How did that happen? It seems like yesterday we were all watching the TV and social media to see what would unfold with Covid and the month of March was PAINFUL… and then all of a sudden… It is September. How’s that happen? I hope you are all hanging in there. I have felt extra isolated lately. I feel like I am ready for a little bit of normalcy in my life. Maybe not the returning back to the office part, at least not full weeks. I like working from home. However, being someone…

Lucky for me, there is one night a week right now where I am on my own for dinner, so guess what my dinners have consisted of. Wow, how did you guess? Yup, zucchini. I will pretty much eat it any which way, but I wanted to try something different. Do you ever get like that?

Zucchini Brownies w/ Dark Chocolate Frosting
It is August. AUGUST! I mean good lord, where has this year gone!? Granted, I have been pretty busy. But still. Patrick and I have been working like crazy people to try and get our house ready for people to come and stay in for the wedding that is 82 days away…eeeeeee! Yikers. One of our bathrooms is completely torn up at the moment. Down to the studs. Always something isn’t it? I am glad we are doing it, because quite frankly we had some SERIOUS electrical hazards behind our walls. In just about every room we have touched. Thank goodness my Dad and Patrick know to how fix these…

Momma knows best…
My mother is a great cook! She taught me most of what I know about food. So whenever she makes something…I am always one of the first people at the table to be the guinea pig. 🙂 She has a very beautiful garden and always uses her fresh vegetables and herbs to cook (which is where I learned it). Literally she is one of those people who has a garden that should be in a magazine…check it out:      I mean how much more gorgeous can she make this garden?! She is incredible… I enjoy spending time with my parents…most of the time 😉 I was visiting with…
