Some nights I crave breakfast for dinner and on these nights an omelet makes a delicious meal. It’s healthy, filling, and can be made in a matter of minutes. I like to make omelets later in the week or on the weekend since they are a great way to use up any leftovers that may have accumulated in the fridge during the week. If you don’t have zucchini you can sauté any veggies you have on hand. Open-Face Omelet (Yield: 1 serving) 1 1/2 tsp olive oil, divided 1 small (about 1/3 lb) zucchini, cleaned and thinly sliced 1 small clove garlic, minced 2 eggs, […]...
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 […]...

Baked Zucchini Fries with Homemade Buttermilk-Yogurt Ranch Dressing
I know I promised a few recipes with yogurt this week, in honor of the Blogger Secret Ingredient. It came at a good time because I was planning on making baked zucchini fries, and what goes better with zucchini fries than ranch dressing? And ranch dressing goes perfectly with almost anything I can think of (raw veggies, crackers, sandwiches, grilled meats, etc.) so I always make extra. The zucchini is really just a guise so I don’t just eat the ranch by itself. A Note on the Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk you can make your own. Pour ½ c of milk into […]...
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 […]...
Arabic Stuffed Zucchini (Kousa Mahshi)
I learned to make this dish while visiting my mother-in-law in Syria. She is a truly amazing woman; she excels at whatever she puts her hands to, and of course she is a fantastic cook! Since I’m a beginner at speaking Arabic and she’s a beginner at speaking English, our time together in the kitchen involved a lot of pointing, gesturing, nodding, and excitement when the other person finally understood what was being communicated. But that just made it all the more memorable. In Syria, the zucchini is a lot smaller than the zucchini typically found here (a 6” zucchini there is pretty big!), so […]...
Roasted Zucchini Spaghetti Pie
Zucchini is like a blank canvas. It’s hard to find a vegetable that’s so versatile, so amazingly delicious in so many recipes, from zucchini Milanese, to zucchini latkes, to stuffed zucchini, to zucchini cookies, etc. This time of year, everyone I know is trying to find new ways to use up their zucchini. The great thing about this pie is that you can use any roasted vegetable you have on hand. If you have the time, don’t skip the roasting step because it really deepens the vegetable’s flavor. This pie is delicious deconstructed as well…just cook up some pasta and top it with marinara […]...
