Zucchini Pizza!

Last night I made a pretty yummy dinner that turned out fabulous! If you like zucchini, hamburger, and cheese you will love this! It is very family friendly for sure. I halfed the recipe since it is only Parker and I, but we gobbled up about 90% of it, and I just had the last 10% for lunch...which wasn't much at all...which means I'm still hungry. This also means that even for leftovers it's still good! So here's the recipe!




Zucchini Pizza Casserole

4 c. shredded, unpeeled zucchini

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 c. Parmesan Cheese

1 c. Cheddar Cheese (divided)

2 c. Mozzarella Cheese (divided)

1/2 c. chopped onion

1 15oz. can Italian flavored tomato sauce

1/2 c. chopped green pepper (optional)

Well, as you can see I have (with a bunch of help from Leanna Banana) updated our blog! This is very exciting for me, especially since I didn't know what in the world to do to get my blog to be cute! Thanks to Leanna for her expertise in the field of blog design and know-how, she got me on my way to a more well rounded blogging experience! :)

Things here have been going pretty well! I have my days of discomfort with my Crohn's still, but continue to try and hold on to the light that someday down the line I'll be having lots of carefree "eat-anything-I-want-and-never-regret-it" days! Wait...is that reality? I think we all have those days where we say, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" The future looks bright more than bleak as it used to. I love saying, "I feel great today!"

Just yesterday I went to my friend Camille's baby shower where we made onesies! I drew the biggest blank for anything creatively inspiring for about the first half hour, but then sheer brilliance began to flow out of me at about 7:23 p.m. :) I came up with a cute little bikini idea! Yes, because it's a onesie it is definitely modest. I think I should come out with an adult line. What do you think? Then the world could still get the bikini look, but without all the skin! (lol) Where do I come up with this stuff??? Perhaps I was meant to change the world one bikini onesie at a time!

Let's see here...I think I should definitely talk about Parker! He is doing really well, despite the economic slump we are all apart of, work has been fairly busy. Not as busy as we hoped it to be, but busy enough to be able to keep our heads above water in getting our bills paid etc. We are quite the budgeters! Parker has also delved into the world of online survey taking! It gives us a little bit more income...but then again I must emphasize the word little. :) He is studying hard, working hard, and playing hard too! I'll keep you posted on when he gets his instructor's license!

I think that's it for now! Till next time... Ciao miei amici!
