I love me some zucchini and when I have the time, this will be one of the first things I try to grow in my backyard! I love that you can add zucchini to almost everything. I love that it fits different flavor profiles. I love that the texture is different if it is made intoRead more
I was on vacation last week and The Mister and I took a trip to Corpus Christi to see my family. Before we left, we made a quick stop at Sprouts. We have one in the area but we have to drive 45 minutes to get to it so we decided to stop in. P.S.Read more
