I love having my friends over for some wine and a nice home-cooked meal. For me, this time is special. All of us talk about what’s going on in our lives, the good, the bad, the ugly. It’s a safe space to just “be” without any pressures or responsibilities but with the comfort of good food that I love preparing for us. 

Sometimes, I like to shake it up a bit. I love to see faces light up when they try something new and different.  I like having fun with food, experimenting with different ingredients, flavours, and creating restaurant-style meals. 

Here’s a lovely recipe from HBD for whimsical but delicious Zucchini Boats along with a bonus recipe for steak-wrapped asparagus & mini potatoes, definitely a meal to get smiles and inquisitive looks all-around your dining table!

Try out this recipe and let us know how you like it! Tag your photos @janicenrc, and remember you’re never too old to have fun with food!
