Baci's Baking | Zucchini Cakes

I'm trying to start eating healthier, which means being on pinterest and finding new food to love :)

I found this zucchini recipe and it looks delicious!! I was never a fan of zucchini until I mixed it with other ingredients, so here is to trying new foods!!

Zucchini Cakes

Original recipe from Just Putzing Around the Kitchen

{Printer-friendly Link}

1 large zucchini, grated
1 large egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Salt/pepper to taste
1 T. Adobo spices
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1) Remove excess liquid from freshly grated zucchini by placing them between paper towels and squeezing.
2) In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
3) Heat a large pan on medium, and spray with Pam. Shape spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into 2-inch (diameter) patties, and drop onto the sizzling pan. Cook each side for about a minute and a half, or until the outside is golden brown.
4) Finish the cakes off in the oven — stick them on a baking pan and broil them for 1-2 minutes.
5) Serve hot, alone or with ranch dressing.

Wedding Wednesday | Fashion + Wedding Accessories

I LOVE looking at wedding stuff still to this day!!!! It's fun getting to look at all these amazing and gorgeous items for weddings!!!! I put together a few of my favorites for you :) 

All of these items are from David's Bridal!

1) Strapless Mermaid Gown with Floral and Lace Detail  - $1050.00 - I am in LOVE with this dress! Lace and some sparkle together makes it absolutely gorgeous!!

2) Hammered Satin-Side Draped Dress with Bow Detail  - $99.99 - How pretty would this mulberry color be beside the lace mermaid gown?  Beautiful, right?!?!

3) Casted Comb with Organza Flowers and Metal Leaves - $129.99 - I would wear something simple like this with my wedding dress. It gives my hair a little bit of sparkle without taking away from the dress.

4) Lace Frosted Glass Tealight Holder (Set of 4) - $10.40 - I didn't even know David's Bridal had reception items, but you can use these tealight holders for decorations or as the guest's gift. 

5) Somerset Ring Pillow - $54 - This pillow has such adorable details!
