Be Inspired: To Cook, To Laugh, To Dream
When I went back home to visit my family, my mom’s garden was producing large quantities of zucchini, and I happily took a couple home with me. I’m sure my Mom (and especially my Dad) would have loved giving me more, but I only had so much room in my bag. Because I’m trying to eat healthier, I searched for some good-for-you recipes for my prized zucchinis and settled on these delicious zucchini cheesy tots.
Zucchini is still going strong in most gardens (hi Mom!), so I'm featuring another zucchini recipe today. You can never have too many zucchini recipes in your repertoire, but there are almost always TOO many zucchinis in your garden. They grow like weeds, seriously! I enjoy zucchini as a side dish ...

It's good to be back, although I enjoyed my time off immensely. I went home for a family reunion, and it was great to see relatives I haven't seen in years.

Sure, I really enjoyed devouring those fresh, garden tomatoes (boy, do I miss those), but working in the garden was a pain. In my defense, I'm not super outdoorsy and I was kid. I'm pretty sure there is a rule ... [Read more]
This week I was over at Tackling Our Debt sharing a yummy green smoothie recipe and how I no longer spend an entire paycheck dining out. Please be sure to check it out. I enjoy taking short breaks at noon to eat lunch and cruise the internet. All right. All right. I troll entertainment websites ... [Read more]
My Mom always planted zucchini in her garden when I was growing up. Well, in all fairness, I believe she still plants some. I'm just not around to enjoy in the bounty, which probably makes my Dad sad. My Mom sneaks zucchini into every dish possible, including desserts. My Dad is a big fan of ... [Read more]
