Busy Bee!

What a fun weekend! Brandon was such a sweet hubby and watched Hadley Saturday and Sunday afternoon while I did 'girly' stuff! Julie, one of my besties and college roomies, came in on Saturday and we met up with Susannah, another friend from college, and had a great lunch at Mimi's Cafe and then went to the Women's Today Expo where we met Gretchen from The Real Housewives of Orange County! Then on Sunday, I went to a bridal tea for Stephanie at Lulu's Tearoom. It was the cutest place and the food was great!

This week is jam packed with house inspections, a hair appointment, Jack and Jules Consignment sale, and the DeBusk reception this weekend!

Today was low key which was nice. Went to the grocery store, made Hadley some butternut squash baby food, and made Zucchini e Pomodori Gratinati for dinner! It is in the oven right now and smells great! I'll share the recipe...it was super easy and had just a few ingredients.

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 zucchini, sliced
1 large clove garlic, crushed
4 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
4 large tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Move oven rack into the top third of the oven.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and spread the zucchini slices into the skillet in a single layer. If they don't fit, cook them in batches. Sprinkle pieces of garlic over the zucchini, and cook until the zucchini are golden brown on both sides, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

Arrange the slices of zucchini in an 9x12-inch glass baking dish, alternating with slices of mozzarella cheese and tomato, so that the slices overlap each other in a neat row pattern. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and basil over the dish, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and brown and the dish is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
