Tonight’s dinner was a new experiment.
Zucchini noodles!
Okay, so they’re not exactly noodles.
Earlier this summer, I saw a recipe for zucchini and summer squash salad that called for “ribbons” of zucchini and squash, created by peeling the squash with a vegetable peeler.
Ever since then, I thought it might be fun to use the ribbons as noodles!
To make the noodles, I simply peeled three large zucchinis. I then placed the zucchini ribbons in a pot of boiling water for about a minute. (The ribbons cooked very quickly because they were so thin).
After straining the “noodles,” I topped them with some of my semi-homemade marinara meat sauce!
A delicious combination!
As good as the zucchini “noodles” were, they definitely weren’t a substitute for real pasta. As I was eating my zucchini marinara meat sauce bowl, I found myself wishing I made some ziti as well. Note to self: Make zucchini noodles with pasta.
Nevertheless, it was a yummy dinner!
College Picture Throwback
This evening, I sorted through a couple of the remaining boxes from our big move. One of the boxes I came across included a pile of pictures from my college years that apparently didn’t find a home in a frame, photo album or scrapbook.
So why not share them on the internet, right?
I should probably explain that one, huh? It’s from a lifeguard-themed sorority social. My best friend Laurel and I went as "Baywatch Babes" and had a little help in the boob department from some balloons. I’m not gonna lie, it was pretty fun being so bosom-y for one night.
Recognize that guy? I’m lovin’ the Pauly D hair… and my beer, apparently. 
I’m pretty sure we were dancing to “Out Tonight” from Rent in that picture at around 3 a.m. Show Tunes + Drinking Games = Fantastic Night
Another sorority social in the middle of nowhere. Camo themed, obviously.
Spring break!
I hope I’m screaming about my decision to wear a jean jacket to a bar.
Oh, memories!

Julie! I am dying over your comment about Rent songs. In college my roomies and I used to have drunken dance parties to Rent all the time! Moulin Rouge and the Aladdin soundtrack came into play too. Keep in mind we alllll worked at Disney in entertainment so it was extra special!
Take me for who I am….
I love those pictures!
Ha, love the pics, reminds me of my college days with my hubby, by the way AOT!!! I was a Kappa Delta at UF, I knew I liked your blog for a reason!
Love the old pics! I always enjoy looking through my old pictures from college especially ones from themed sorority/fraternity parties. Sometimes I can’t believe some of the stuff I wore!
Um, how did I miss this post?
