Easy Zucchini!

I havent always been a zucchini lover. As a child I vividly remember my mom making 'zucchini cakes' that were made of shredded zucchini, cheese, onion and flour. It was always a fight to get my brother and I to eat them. Looking back.....they seem pretty tasty!

While visiting some friends in the Berkshire's this summer our friend Jennifer made the most delicious dish with zucchini and tomatoes. I was shocked to find out how simple it was to make! I assembled all the ingredients myself and went to work. The outcome was amazing and the actual prep was incredibly simple. You can serve this over pasta, brown rice, or eat it by itself. Store the rest in the fridge and eat through the week. It was actually even better the day after. Enjoy!!Easy Zucchini
