Another weekend gone.....

Yesterday Das and Tristan came in with arm fulls of tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and jalapenos.  So I started to look for recipes to use them all.

On Pinterest.com, they have so many fun and yummy recipes.  I came across a baked Parmesan tomato recipe.

You slice the tomatoes in half, sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, fresh Parmesan cheese, and a splash of olive oil.  Then bake at 450 for 15 minutes.  They look delicious....but they were just OK.  Probably be better with mozzarella and basil on top.  I will try that next time. 
Next I found a baked zucchini sticks with a sweet onion dip.  After slicing the zucchini, you sprinkle with salt and let sit for an hour. This method helps the zucchini to sweat out moisture.

You then dip into egg and roll in the mixture.(Parmesan, Italian spices, and panko bread crumbs.)  Cook at 450 for 15 minutes. 
The dip was really tasty.  You caramelize onions and then mix in food processor with apple cider, mustard, mayo, and olive oil.  I will definitely be making it again. 

My favorite.....chocolate chip zucchini bread.

Touchdown!
So far, I have learned a great deal about football and I am actually enjoying it.  The U game was a good game last night.  So close!  Looking forward to the games today and to see how I do in my first week of fantasy football.  Unfortunately I don't have an Bears players on my team.  And I have the QB on the opposing team they are playing today.  Should be fun to watch. 
Also on pinterest.com I came across a fun tutorial to make your hair wavy.  You are suppose to twist it while it is wet and sleep on it.  I just was playing around late last night and did it dry.  I liked the end result.  Next time I will try it wet, and put a little more effort into it.



It was Das's turn to teach primary today.  I stayed home with Ashton since he keeps getting a fever and I don't want to take him out.  I have such an awesome husband.  He is so good to us.  Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.  I know I am!
