What is your favorite recipe using zucchini? Muffins, breaded and fried, or stuffed, maybe? This recipe is always a crowd-pleaser, and really lets the flavor of zucchini shine…...
Savory Spiced Sour Cream Zucchini Muffins
Is your zucchini crop starting to come in yet? Because zucchini is so wonderfully predictable, we all know that if you’re a gardener, soon enough you’ll have it coming out your ears. You’ll be dropping of bags to friends, family, and neighbors....
Roasted Vegetable Crustless Quiche with Basil & Pine Nuts {Cuisine Nicoise Cookbook Giveaway}
There are certain recipes you see that you expect to have certain ingredients just from reading the title. Like macaroni and cheese. I always expect macaroni, and I always expect cheese…but that’s not necessarily true. Take cauliflower “macaroni” and vegan “cheese”; true it doesn’t taste exactly like the original, but still, it’s macaroni and cheese-ish and delicious anyway. Or fudge. I hear the word fudge and my mind goes to chocolate. But flavors like cappuccino, cinnamon bun, and peanut butter show that isn’t the case. Chocolate obviously doesn’t have to be included in a fudge-like confection for it to be tasty. And then there’s quiche. […]...
Cinnamon and Nutmeg Zucchini “Applesauce”
Are you getting to the point where you’re starting to have a little too much zucchini on hand? If you’re not there yet, you probably will be soon… If you’re a gardener, maybe you’ve already dropped off a bag (or two) at a neighbor’s house…or maybe you’ve been the recipient of a bag or two from a neighbor who gardens. Or maybe you heard the doorbell ring early one random evening only to get to the front door and find a gigantic bag of zucchini looking up at you, which might as well have sprouted legs and walked there itself because there wasn’t a trace […]...
What I Ate Wednesday #3
Breakfast, Part 1 (pre-workout): Cottage Cheese This is my third time participating in Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday (here is my first and here is my second)…I know I don’t participate as much as some people, but I hope I’ve given someone out there some meal inspiration! It’s actually more of a challenge than it seems to photograph everything you eat in a day (it’s really time-consuming and makes you think more than you normally would about what you’re ingesting), and this has caused me to gain even more respect for bloggers who post every meal they eat, every day of the week (Kath immediately comes […]...
Grilled Zucchini
On weekends during the summer my family does a lot of grilling. Anything and everything you can imagine is fair game, from jalapeno poppers to crab cakes, to more traditional things like kebabs, chicken wings, and corn on the cob. Next week we have some pretty tasty plans for grilled stuffed mushrooms and I’m dying to see how they turn out. But so far this summer, this zucchini has been my favorite thing to come off the grill....
Zucchini-Tomato Gratin
I think my body is longing for summer. It’s not only the fact that I’ve been cold for about two months straight, but also that I’ve been craving summer fruits and veggies. Zucchini isn’t in season right now and even though I usually like to eat my produce seasonally, I couldn’t help making this. When I crave a particular veggie I think of it as my body’s way of telling me what it needs…and I’ve been dying for zucchini, so I went with it. This dish was delicious, and in about seven months it will become indispensible when I’m looking for any and every way […]...
Vegetable Fritters
Fritters are a the perfect summertime dish to help use up veggies from your garden. They’re super versatile – you can substitute any veggies that you like or have on hand. Serve them as appetizers, or they make a delicious side dish along with fish or chicken off the grill, but in the summer when I’m in the mood for a light meal I think they make a fantastic lunch or dinner by themselves. I’m sending this recipe to Reeni of Cinnamon & Spice for her Side Dish Showdown. July’s theme is Anything Goes! I’m also sending this recipe off to Chaya of Sweet and Savory for […]...
Turkey-Vegetable Meatball Bombers
Depending on where you’re from, you might know this type of sandwich as something other than a bomber, such as a submarine (or sub for short), hoagie, hero, blimpie, grinder, or po-boy. Anyway, it doesn’t matter since a meatball sandwich by another other name would taste as delicious! These sandwiches are picky-eater pleasers…my husband (who typically will only touch a steak sub) actually loved these meatballs…of course he wanted his bomber without cheese, but at least he was eating turkey-veggie meatballs! (Yes, for some reason my hubby is able to consume slimy green soup without any qualms, but he has a problem when it comes to cheese…go […]...
Zucchini Curry
Does anyone else feel like they have more zucchini right now than they know what to do with? I made this dish last week…it was inspired by two things: (1) I had a bowl full of zucchini pulp leftover from making stuffed zucchini, and (2) I was craving a curry dish. This turned out to be really good, although I must admit chicken makhani is still my favorite Indian dish. I would say this dish is somewhat of a cross between channa masala and baigan bharta (only with zucchini instead of eggplant). Like curry powder, garam masala is a blend of several spices, and […]...
