"Anyone can cook!"

Tonight I made ratatouille (inspired by the Disney movie, duh!) for dinner for my family! It was made with all fresh ingredients, and vegetarian friendly for all the veg-heads out there;) It was a perfect light summer dish. I found a recipe on Pinterest for it but tweaked it a little. Here's how I made it:
1 large eggplant
1 zucchini 
1 yellow squash 
1/2 of a large onion
2 tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic (chopped fine)
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, & basil for taste

Set your oven to 350 degrees. Coat the inside of a casserole dish with olive oil. Cook down the tomatoes with some of the garlic, a pinch of basil, and olive oil in a pan. Then spread half of it in the bottom of the casserole dish. Then slice the eggplant, zucchini, squash, and onions and distribute them in a pattern around the dish. Then drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil on top of it, and top with the other half of the tomatoes. Then sprinkle with the chopped garlic, slant, and pepper. Then cover the casserole dish with the lid and put in the oven for 45 minutes, or more until the vegetables get soft and fully cooked. I recommend serving it with a nice crusty loaf of bread! Mhmmm delicious!

And voila! It's as easy as that! You're a chef just like in the movie "Ratatouille," only you don't have a pet rat named Remi on your shoulder helping you out with the dish! ;)

World Oceans Day 2017!

Today June 8th, is World Oceans Day, celebrating and raising awareness for my favorite place on earth. I could live at the beach. There is just something about the sun as my blanket, laying in the warm sand, listening to the waves crash, and smelling the salt air, that feels like home. I am my happiest and most tranquil when I am on the beach with my feet in the ocean. There is no greater bliss. My heart belongs to the sea. Today is an important day to me, because of course I want to keep my favorite place in tip-top shape 😁 The theme of this year's world oceans day is "Our Ocean, Our Future." Today is a great day to help raise awareness to others and remind them that we need to take care and sustain our home, the earth, and keep our oceans clean. If we all make small changes, and become more conscious, it will all add up and make a difference and help save our magnificent oceans and all of the beautiful creatures living in them.  Oceans are one of nat...
