This week has flown by! I can’t believe it is already the weekend. I spent a lot of my time this week in my classroom, getting it ready for my kids to come next week. It’s almost done! Other activities this week included a work happy hour with Brady and a girl’s night – HERE! Everything was fun!

A new recipe I tried this week included the vegetable stock that Foodbuzz sent me last week and an old Cooking Light recipe that I found in my recipe book. (More on the recipe book later )

I followed the recipe for the most part – adding veggie stock instead of chicken broth. I also omitted the onions and the olive oil.

This mushy side was served with a zucchini boat filled with tomatoes, lentils and brown rice.

Brady’s boat contained a little lean ground beef too!

Thanks again Emeril and Foodbuzz!IMG_5392.JPG

Overall: I would make the zucchini boats again and I would make the polenta again. I think the polenta would be better in the winter as it is warm and mushy. Brady thought they went great together!!
