One of my all-time favorites to make in minutes is to cook up some zucchini in a pan, and top it with tomato sauce and pile on the mozzarella cheese… give it a minute. under the broiler! It’s filling and delicious and satisfying!
I recently made a trip to one of the best produce markets I’ve ever seen. It’s in San Diego, near the airport. It’s called specialtyproduce.com, and SPECIAL it is. They have such great quality produce and so much more. These are 8 ball zucchini. I’m not sure what I’ll make with them, but aren’t they so CUTE! I sure wish I lived closer, but when I’m in the area, I’m sure I’ll return!
