"Well, you won't starve..." Fridays

I am surrounded by creative people.  Musicians.  Artists.  Writers.  and Thinkers.  Yes....Thinkers.

And being a deep thinker myself, I enjoy reading the musings and ponderings of other deep thinkers.  So, a few years ago, my dear son started taking guitar lessons from a great musician who happens to be married to a great thinker. Someone sent me a link to her "thinking blog" and I began to quietly stalk follow her and appreciate her thoughts as she processed some deep subjects.  Then, out of nowhere, she surprises with a new food blog entitled "Well, you won't starve!"  What irony!

And oh how I loved it!  The title stuck with me (as did some of her recipes) and so out of honor for her creativity and humor, I have "borrowed" her blog title and started a Friday series.

It is here where I will post Newbie recipes (meaning those recipes we have tried and liked) or our current Family Favs (those recipes that get a thumb's up).  I would love to maybe have a "Recipe Party" where we can share some Family Favs and possibly get new ideas from each other.  Of course, that means everyone needs to be cooking....and have a blog to post the recipe so you have a place to link.  Oh well...maybe in the future.....

NEWBIE RECIPE:  Zucchini Fries

This is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables!  And some adults too:)!
