Zing! is thirty, flirty, and thriving! In our 30th episode, Anabel makes a heart-shaped strawberry cake (is that not the cutest shit you've ever heard) from a BOXED mix! She takes you through her fool-proof way to elevate any boxed cake mix, so much so that your friends will think it's homemade. This is absolutely confirmed. Then, she is joined by the bestie, Abby, to chat their current summer loves, including food, drink, media, and even concepts! This episode really has it all, friends!!

A lot of butter (at least 1 cup, probably)
Milk of your choice (I used almond and it totally worked!)

            - Replace water with milk
            - Add an extra egg
            - Replace oil with butter, then double the amount
            - Add 1/2 vanilla pudding packet and fresh fruit, chocolate, etc. to spruce her up!

Happy Pride! Anabel whips up an easy, cheap, and quick quiche before being joined by Celine, her bff of 11+ years, to discuss all things astrology!

March 18, 202126: Garlic Butter Veg & Chickpea Penne and Creator Insecurities with Kyndal
You're in for a treat today! Anabel makes an extremely simple yet very satisfying vegetarian pasta dish. She is then joined by her friend Kyndal, host of Kyndal's Korner podcast, to talk all things creating! They discuss what podcasters/ general creatives should know when starting out, traumatic childhood events they realized affected them later, early 2010's YouTube inspirations, and how they'll know they've finally made it. Take a shot every time Anabel says "admirable!"

Zucchini & chickpea penne with goat cheese and red chili flakes in garlic butter sauce:
1 large zucchini

1 can chickpeas, water drained

1/2 box penne pasta

1/2- 1 stick good butter

1/4 tsp or 1/2 clove minced garlic

Goat cheese (topping)

Red chili flakes (optional but so tasty)

Olive oil, salt & pepper for cooking
Preheat oven to 400F. Bring water to a boil for pasta, making sure to salt it.

Cut zucchini into half moons.

Drain chickpeas and add them to a sheet pan along with the zucc.

Coat in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss around on sheet to coat.

Cook in oven for 20~ish min, checking to make sure the chickpeas don't get overdone.

Add pasta to water and cook 1 minute under the time it says on the box.

Meanwhile, melt your butter in a saucepan on low heat.

Once melted, add garlic and cook until light golden brown. Turn off heat as soon as this color is achieved to avoid burning.
