Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices

July 15, 2019 by Faith 3 Comments

This recipe for Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices is my take on a favorite summer side dish my mom makes. My version hits all the right notes – crispy outside, tender inside, and full of flavor – but with much fewer carbs!

When I was younger my mom had a small vegetable garden, and zucchini was always one of the vegetables that thrived best. If you grow zucchini you probably come to expect zucchini overload every summer! It’s always good to have a few new recipes up your sleeve to help use up the bounty.…

February 16, 2018 by Faith 4 Comments

Whip up this Single Serving Low-Carb Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Red Pepper Sauce in 20 minutes when you’re craving a lighter, but every bit as satisfying, version of pasta! I was so ridiculously late to the zucchini noodle game that I don’t even know how I dared show up at all. I was so late I thought it in poor taste to even refer to them by their nickname (zoodles!), preferring to keep it more formal in my shame and call them zucchini noodles, lol....

Zucchini Pizza Bites come together quickly and easily for a crowd-pleasing finger food that’s perfect for any party! The holidays aren’t quite over yet, and for now I’m content to spend time with family and get my fill of Christmas movies.

Zucchini and Goat Cheese Stacks with Fresh Mint, Pine Nuts, and Crispy Prosciutto

April 13, 2017 by Faith 12 Comments

Zucchini and Goat Cheese Stacks with Fresh Mint, Pine Nuts, and Crispy Prosciutto are as easy to make as they are delicious and impressive; they’re perfect for a spring supper or party! I’m not one to shy away from green veggies. In fact, I’ve been known to serve fried eggs on sautéed greens as a breakfast salad, turn a bed of greens into pizza, and replace bread with leaves. But when spring rolls around, my need for the color green in my diet seems to intensify even more. From peas, to asparagus, leafy greens like spinach and watercress, leeks, and fava beans, spring brings with […]...

Smoked Paprika Zucchini Hash Breakfast Bowls

August 12, 2016 by Faith 4 Comments

Smoked Paprika Zucchini Hash Breakfast Bowls are a delicious low-carb alternative to a potato-based hash. These bowls whip up in just 30 minutes for a perfect meal any time of day! The only hash I knew growing up was of the potato variety. It was cooked in bacon grease, seasoned with onion and garlic, and tinged orange with paprika. Served with fried eggs, bacon, and buttered toast with jam, it was quite the heavy meal. What can I say? It was the late ‘80s/early ‘90s and that was what a home-style breakfast consisted of. The funny thing is, we only had it when we were […]...

Za’atar and Caramelized Onion Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese

August 26, 2015 by Faith 6 Comments

This pretty little Za’atar and Caramelized Onion Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese is a great way to class up zucchini. Even when it’s rustic (read: food blogger slang for a fine mess), anything with pie crust (called pâte brisée) just feels classy. And humble as it is, zucchini deserves a chance in the limelight....

Grilled Zucchini with Quick Tomato-Olive Sauce and Feta Cheese

July 31, 2015 by Faith 11 Comments

Bright Mediterranean flavors make this Grilled Zucchini with Quick Tomato-Olive Sauce and Feta Cheese a perfect summer side dish. Mike and I decided years ago that we just arent campers. Actually, it was after our first camping trip that we sort-of had an inkling that it just wasnt our cup of tea, but after our second trip we outright swore off camping altogether. (Its not the bugs, or the snakes, or even the uncomfortable bedding that gets me. What kills it for me is the fact that I can never just get clean, lol. Dirty feet and sticky fingers are the stuff my nightmares are […]...
