Mom, Nana & Zucchini Fries

Happy TITANIC week all! I am so super stoked that one of my Favorite movies is being re-released this week. I really don’t care about it being in 3D just excited to see it on the big screen for what will feel like the first real time ever! But more on that another day.


I had a pretty wonderful weekend this past weekend. Saturday was filled with scouring for treasures with my Mom. We drove around idly looking for garage sales and after not finding any good ones I suggested we take our adventure to the Flea Market. This was Mom’s first time there… she was not impressed. We walked around trying to find something to spark our interests but with me in my floppy hat and she in her Ray Bans we stood out like a sore thumb. As we glanced outside I suggest we just ditch our bargain find efforts and head to the mall, to which Mom happily agreed stating that “was much more our speed.” We had a great day together just the two of us!

Very Early Sunday morning Ginna and Erich welcomed their second daughter, Landry into the world so Aunt Tammy, Neeley, and Kelsey all took off Early Sunday morning to meet her. I volunteered to cook breakfast for guests at Starlight so they could leave and was honored enough to have Nana actually come do all the hard work for me. We woke up bright and early to go make breakfast at 9:30 for ONE man and send a plate to his sleeping girlfriend. It was definitely worth it to though to spend some time in the kitchen with just me and Nana. She showed me her technique to perfectly steamed eggs which I had tried to master many times before as I failed miserably.

Last night Drew and I grilled out some pork chops out in the beautiful weather. He invited some friends from work over, including our long lost friend Tyson. I missed Neeley desperately because it has been a LONG time since I have been the only girl around.  That is the beauty of dating roommates and “good buddies”… we always all hang out together.  Anyway all of my delicious side items were being vetoed such as corn on the cob, parmesan grilled asparagus, and even mac and cheese. They just wanted beans and chips… blah! So I decided I would cook myself a Pinterest recipe I have been wanting to make for a while… zucchini fries. And OH MAN were they good!! The Recipe can be found here. It was very simple to make and was a big hit even with the beano boys I was with.
