I’ve never made zucchini boats before, but after seeing beautiful zucchini at the farm, I decided it was time to give it a try.

Boyfriend won three meals from Blue Apron in a work competition. I was very excited to have a chance to try out Blue Apron, and I loved the meals we tried. I would definitely happily pay to try more meals from them. The process was extremely easy, the food ships to your front door andRead more
This has been a very busy Spring! Easter was a whirl, with Sister and her fiancé coming down for wedding planning and the holiday. My grandpa returned from his year in Japan.

While Boyfriend worked on removing some radiators from our house this weekend, I went to my parents’ house and hung out with Mom. We did a bit of baking and she made this awesome pork dish for us. You can buy packages of pork tenderloin that usually have two pieces together, whichRead more
