It's Tuesday!!

I am loving the sixty degree weather--

cooking dinner and cleaning up the kitchen with the windows open last night 

was simply perfect.
I love hearing the summer bug noises outside & all the neighborhood happenings.

It's been so hot, I've had the AC cranked all summer long!
I look forward to a quick little walk with Sadie Lady before it heats back up again.

My husband has been running with Holly after he gets home at night;

it's been great for both of them!!

One week from today we will find out if Baby Bean is a

I highly suggest this easy & yummy dish!
My friend Ann told me about it & my husband LOVED it.

It's a great way to get those veggies in!

Ingredients

• 3  cups  grated zucchini
• 1  small onion, chopped
• 1  cup  all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan.
2. Spoon the zucchini mixture into a 10-inch round glass pie plate or metal pie pan that has been coated with vegetable cooking spray.
3. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan. Cool 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

And today's words of wisdom: 

I saw someone post this on FB and couldn't agree more.

Since I've stopped trying to please, appease, fix, worry about those people who were in my life and bringing me nothing but stress and grief, I couldn't be happier! It's not bad to be a bit selfish; your happiness is of utmost importance. If you're not happy, no one around you can enjoy you either! On top of that, you just can't fix everyone.  The weeds in my life brought me down, made me stressful, and I allowed myself to feel inadequate.  Now I spend my time working on my healthy, positive relationships, and love watching them flourish.  Life is too short to be anything but happy.

Make the most out of your Tuesday!!
