Lemon Parsley Grilled Zucchini
It was over 104 degrees here today, so we opted for grilling instead of doing anything in the kitchen. I marinated chicken breasts and legs with olive oil and a 1/4 cup of my Pesto Sauce, and threw this lemon and parsley marinated zucchini on the grill once the chicken was done. The lemon and parsley … Read more

As you probably saw on Facebook yesterday, I made these almond pulp crackers with almond flour instead.
