Cara Box Reveal!!

This month I participated in something new (to me): the Cara Box exchange on the Wifessionals Blog.  You can paired up with a couple fellow bloggers and exchange a box of goodies.  The theme this month was seasons of life- you got paired up with someone who is in the same place in their life.

Contents of my box: photo book, baking goods, romance novel and card

I  got paired up with Rabia and Danielle.  I was really impressed with what Rabia sent me and even more impressed once I read the great note she included.  She took the time to include items that were specific to me and what I enjoy doing (cooking, baking, reading). I will definitely be participating again, and I like that it's now every 3 months even more.  There's more time to think and plan.

Great guilty pleasure reading

What do I do with this Zuchini?

A couple weeks ago, my husband brought a zucchini as big as a house. There are so many things sweet and savory you can make with this veggie - ultimately - here's what I've done:

• Chocolate Zucchini cake - this was a very unique dish, using olive oil instead of butter.  Recipe from Food Network.
• Breaded zucchini  
• Zucchini tacos - my own creation

Ground beef

Onion

Zucchini

Summer squash

Cumin

Taco seasoning

1/2 can of butternut squash soup (or tomato sauce)

I served this with chips, shredded cheese, and lettuce- but you could do tortillas, sour cream or tomatoes!

• Sautéed zucchini as a side dish
