Zucchini Chip Recipe

_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ It’s no secret that when my husband is told to pick up an item at the grocery store he often overstocks on a particular fruit or vegetable, leaving me to come up with ideas on how to use and reuse the item for the next week and a half. Sometimes I am thankful for these purchases, especially when it forces me to attempt new recipes that both my children and I can indulge in. I have been making vegetable chips for quite some time now but I never…

How can a girl, let alone a busy mama of 2 hate these wonderfully spacious pants anyhow? Culottes by definition are women’s knee-length trousers, cut with very full legs to resemble a skirt – amazing right? No more heat induced sticky legs, fashionably chic and of course very loose fitting for that comfortable feel while running errands with the little ones. In theory these are a god-send for mothers everywhere, but in reality for short…
