Cream Cheese Zucchini Alfredo
"My mother always told me to never plant more than one zucchini unless I have a lot of friends. This year, I planted my first garden, and I planted 3 zucchini seeds, thinking maybe one would grow if I was lucky. Well, 2 of them grew and I am overrun with zucchini! Luckily, my Facebook friends came to my rescue with a bunch of delicious recipes."

I'm an artist and I work from home, so I love to have the smell of something delicious cooking in the background while I'm working. Cooking is the way that I show love to my family and friends -- I get that from my Southern grandma, who always made amazing meals for our large extended family. Since I learned to cook from her, I always end up making meals that could feed a small army. Down home, old fashioned, comfort foods that make lots of leftovers are my specialty.
I love to eat any kind of ethnic food but I'm just learning to cook from different cultures. My favorite place in the world is New Orleans, so I love to make Cajun and Creole food. I call myself the Faux Chef because I don't have the talent to be a chef but I try really hard. My problem is, I never measure anything (thanks, Grandma!) which makes me TERRIBLE at baking.
