raw zucchini?
I have been told to try it several times.... I had such a hard time conceptualizing it... so I avoided trying it.
Until today.
We just got a bunch of zucchini at the farm on saturday so I figured I would try.
I searched around and was inspired by the city cook
I forgot to take a picture, which is a shame, it was actually quite pretty.
3 small-medium zucchini- peeled
3 ears fresh roasted sweet corn
juice of 1/2 a small lemon
3 tablespoons of EVOO
shredded asiago cheese-to taste
shave the zucchini into long super thin strips, then cut them into half inch segments. Cut the corn from the cob and add it to zucchini. juice the lemon into a cup and add EVOO...whisk together, add to veggies. salt and pepper to taste. I let this sit in the fridge for about a 1/2 hour to an hour to let the flavors marinate. Once ready to serve, shred asiago over and mix together.
Right before my husband took his first bite, he said, "Jen I really do not like raw zucchini, Ive had it before"
I was a little discouraged.... until he ate two bowls...standing at the counter.
As a side, this would maybe satisfy 3-4 people... as part of the main dish or to share, I would double it.

Its Back!
I decided to pull the coffee table out of the office today. We put it in there when liv started to crawl and then just really enjoyed the great explanse of the living room without it.
Recently, however, the need for a coffee table of sorts has become more and more necessary as my belly is expanding at an alarming rate (21weeks!!!!) and I have a little bit of difficulty trying to color and draw lying on the floor.
Of course, we could always use the craft room.... but the a/c does NOT reach back there as well and my craft table is quite high and the kids are up and down and up and down and for ira thats fine... but that means I am lifting liv up and down and up and down.....plus, the afternoon light is perfect.
so its back... and we are off to enjoy a bit of craft time.....
