Dear Flu,

I couldn’t sleep, eat, as well as laugh. Drinking rooster broth and viewing people eat pie is not a way to invest the holiday.

This is the second time you’ve tortured me on Turkey Day. Mean.

I’m happy you are gone now. Do not ever come back, I’m begging you!

Love,

Monique

On another note, I started my new job today. It had been seriously busy! I’m prepared for the task though, and can’t wait to get settled into life around the East coast. If you have any type of inquiries regarding where and ways to use recipes with zucchini boats, you could contact us at our web site. I’m ecstatic to become here and pleased for this amazing opportunity.

DC is pretty fab.

But let’s get right down to food business. That’s why you are right here.

Seriously out with the fairly sweet potato casseroles and in using the squash!

Acorn squash is my favorite. Healthy, lovely, and fantastic delicious. It’s slightly sweet, low in calories and fulfilling.

Squash party!

The sweetness of creamy squash paired with savory dark beans, cilantro as well as your selection of cheese is irresistable. All of this piled inside a crispy whole wheat grains tortilla?

Heck yes! I really like quesadillas.

The best part? These won’t weigh you down. Light & healthy, simply for you.
