You discover a lot ofnewthings when you're home allday. Now that I'm not going to work every day or spending my life in rush hour traffic, I'm home a lot studying for school and/or blogging. Now I know important things like whattime the mailman and FedExarrives, what time your neighbors walk their dogs, the sketchy people sneaking into the neighborhood breaking the gates and oh yeah, finding out who's stealing your water.
For the longest time I couldn't figure out why, sometimes the hose on the side of my housewould beunscrewed. Since my house is on the corner oftwo busy streets in thesubdivision,Iassumedit must be kids messing with it.Well asit turns out, it wasn't kids after all.
WhileI was working on editing these photos, I heard someone turn thewater faucet on outside. When I walkedoutside, I discovered it wasone of thelandscapers. He was standing there with four large plastic jugs (for weed treatment) filling them with water from my home.
He promptly left after I confronted him. My homeowner's association assured me itwillnot happen again too.I was literally beside myself that a service I pay for was stealing from me. Talking about getting taken advantage of!
For those of you who think a little water isn't any big deal, it's areally bigdeal when you live ina placelikethedesertwherewater is sparse and freaking expensive! Not to mention I'm tired of being taken advantage of. But that's a topic for a different day becauseit's Friday andIN-E-E-Dthese Baked Zucchini Parmesan Fries. This finger-liking good appetizerare surely a game day must have!
I think I've proclaimed before my love of zucchini and with all the pumpkin, butternut squash happeningthese last months,I forget how much I lovethis magical you-can-do-anything with vegetable. Like what you ask? Like make healthy Baked Zucchini Parmesan Fries that crumble and melt in your mouth!
Can we just say ADDicting? I could not stop eating them during the shoot. They're better than chocolate. Okay so maybe that's an exaggeration. I still need chocolate but these salty, almond-coconut breaded goodnessis beyond fantastic if I do say so myself.
I made two batches. One using coconut flour for a Paleoversion (which by the way was my favorite) and another using gluten free oat flour. With the coconut flour be sure to use tongs when you're doing the dipping. Coconut flour is ultra absorbent. It will absorb all of your almond meal or clumpto your fingers if not do quickly with this handy tool. Learn from my mistakes peeps! Now grabyour marinara and let's get dipping!
