Made this tonight... Mmmmmm mmmm good! I had something similar at a restaurant a few months back and found it on Pinterest...of course. I finally made it tonight, since we had snow... Figured I would make soup today! Ryan and I both had seconds (although i couldnt eat my second bowl cause i was full) it was soo yummy and it is pretty low on the calorie content too!

Well definitely be saving this recipe for the fall! :)

Zucchini dinner

So I am not one to post food blogs... but today I couldn't help it!  My boss gave me a GIANT zucchini from his garden and so I went to down on zucchini cooking today!  I made a chocolate zucchini cake and my signature recipe that I call, zucchini garlic shrimp pasta.


Not going to lie I got the zucchini cake recipe from the Internet...

But I made some changes, I split the oil in half with applesauce and instead of grating the zucchini (too much work) I pureed it. :)  I also didn't add nuts (Yuck!) and put chocolate chips in instead... mmm!  It came out very good! I was nervous cause my electricity went off half way through its cooking, but it still turned out scrumptious!


Next is my signature dish that I typically make once a week.

Brown Zucchini and garlic

I saved some puree from the cake to use as a sauce for the pasta and added some garlic powder

Boil pasta as zucchini is cooking

Add salad shrimp to zucchini and garlic... I use salad shrimp cause it doesn't have to be peeled and is already cooked

Combine the two and I put some grated cheese on top and Serve!

 Colin also had squash and turkey... but he had FOUR servings of pasta and zucchini and then some apples for dessert!
