Zucchini Rigatoni Bake

Happy Happy Friday!!
How are you today? Fabulous I hope, because it's Friday! I'm super excited because my little sister Emily is coming in today to spend the weekend with me before E and I move to Tallahassee. My sister and I are about as different as two siblings can be. I went to A&M; she went to Texas. I love fruit, and she thinks Skittles are fruit. I wake up at 5am, and she goes to bed at 5am. I get nervous to cut my hair, while her hair has been every color under the sun. We're kind of like these two cute pups!

Completely different but still so close. Especially over the last 2 years, we have become extremely close, and I am so sad to be moving so far away from her.
I worked in the morning on the 4th of July, and then we headed over to my friend Kelli's for a little swimming and fun in the sun! By the time we got home, E and I were pretty hungry so I wanted to throw something together pretty quickly. I had some good basics on hand.



Two of my favorite ingredients - zucchini and Quinoa pasta! I came across this recipe by Kelley on Pinterest and decided to change it up a bit to fit what I had on hand. It turned out delicious!
