Easy Weeknight Dinner: Italian Zucchini Boats

While I enjoy cooking, I severely underestimated how tiring deciding what’s for dinner every night would get while living on my own. While I have some favorite, go to recipes, I’m always on the lookout for new ones to spice up my dinner rotation. Recently, I’ve been looking for recipes that incorporate vegetables and while this one doesn’t quite fit the bill (zucchini is technically a fruit), I wanted to share my Italian zucchini boats recipe.

Food Themed Christmas Tree: My Themed Tree

One of my favorite things this holiday season has been my food themed Christmas tree. Growing up, my family always had a sentimental Christmas tree with a mix and match of ornaments that my brother and I made and that my parents collected over the years. I’d always been drawn to themed Christmas trees but didn’t know what theme I’d want to commit to. A few years back though it came to me; I’m a foodie and loved the idea of having a food themed Christmas tree. And so my holiday tradition began.
