I have 101 reasons lately to try new recipes and it's mostly due to my new favorite cookbook, Fixate by Autumn Calabrese! My recent favorite is this delish Zucchini Bake! I am obsessed with Zucchini and this is a cheesy and fresh summer recipe!! SOOOO good and very easy to make, plus for your fellow Fixers, it's approved for your containers!!!
