Last week I got a huge zucchini from someone at work. I think it was the biggest zucchini I’ve ever seen. Mike insisted on grating the whole thing, and we got over 10 cups of grated zucchini out of it. This turned out to...

Last week I decided to try a new version of quesadillas. Our normal recipe is pretty simple – cook chicken, mix with salsa, create quesadilla with chicken and cheese. It doesn’t get much easier than that. But I had a recipe for grilled vegetable...
