In the past year, I’ve woken up numerous times with swollen eyes and face. I suspected multiple things from shampoo, vitamin pills,…

Zucchini Cheese?

Want to try a wacky recipe?  I decided to make zucchini cheese. I wouldn’t say I love this recipe but it was very interesting to make.  The cheese didn’t slice as well as I thought it would and it was almost a  mousse consistency.  It melted when I ate it with warm food and I…
