I am finally back to cooking! I haven't washed a dish or pan in about 4 weeks, can you believe it? Luckily, between all of the walking and hiking up towers, none of the pastries that I ate didn't pack on a single pound! I came in right at the exact same weight, to a tenth of a pound. That's crazy!
Still, I'm pretty sure that I'm a bit thicker in the middle and lost some of my arm muscle. Ick. So what does that mean? Back to healthy recipes (and the gym)!
I actually made this recipe before I left for my trip, because it's so easy with most of the ingredients coming from my freezer, pantry, and garden. No grocery shopping? Yes!
Shrimp with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Feta

Ingredients
Olive oil
1 medium zucchini, diced1 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half
2 cloves garlic, minced
