Baked Almond Zucchini (Pattypan Squash) Crisps

This was a fun little snack. My pattypan squash are coming in strong, just like zucchini typically do.  There is more than we can possibly eat. So I am looking for new and creative ways to use them. These crisps are a slight adaptation of the Low Carb Zucchini Oven Chips from Tablefortwoblog.com. It is best…

Clean Out the Fridge Fried Rice

My garden is starting to produce summer vegetables, finally!  So it is time to clear out the other, miscellaneous vegetables that are in the fridge.  First there are the vegetables left from making other dishes: fresh english peas from a dish I made last week, a zucchini that had been waiting to be made into zucchini…

Zucchini & Okra Frittata

Zucchini Bread Pancakes
