FOODIE FRIDAY: ZUCCHINI BOATS

I've made a variation of this recipe before and it turned out GREAT. Just cut a zucchini in half lengthwise and trim a little off the bottom so it will sit still in a baking dish. Scoop out the center where the seeds are with a spoon. Brush the surface with a mixture of crushed garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange halved grape tomatoes into the grooves, sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Remove and place diced fontina or mozzarella in between the tomatoes, place them back in, but now under the broiler til golden and bubbling. Remove and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkling of grated parmesan.

FOODIE FRIDAY: CUPCAKES PLEASE

I'M ON A CUPCAKE KICK. LET'S BAKE. I JUST HAD A SPRINKLES CUPCAKE TONIGHT. I'M SO SOLD.

I picked all of these because visually I was excited by how pretty they all were. These cupcakes are making me wonder how something can look so perfect for a moment and then they are gone. Like there is your art then BOOM it's gone, and it was good while it lasted. Besides the point.. after I ate a cupcake tonight it got me thinking.. I NEED MORE, and I want them to be cute whilst I eat them all.
