Hi Friends,
One of the most versatile vegetables, zucchini, is in season. At the farmers market nearly every farm vendor offered them. They’re great to sneak into recipes to get in extra vegetables (and if the kids ask, call them green sprinkles lol). You can put them in waffles or in burritos and burgers, yum!

Personal stories
The big news this week is that Freddie did an acting class downtown which he loved, but it was a lot of waiting around and chauffeuring for me lol.
Ben and Frankie had soccer skills camp in the evening. It was a lot of kids programming, but they love it so it makes it worth it!
Weekend reads
Currently reading Hello Beautiful. “NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • From the author of Dear Edward comes a “powerfully affecting” (People) family story that asks: Can love make a broken person whole?” It’s very well written and I can’t put it down!

I have made this pie 5 times in the last 2 months. Great “drop off” treat for homebound friends.
