ZUCCHINI FOR LUNCH



Zucchini for Lunch image

This is one of my favorite dishes to make whenever I have some zucchini on hand. Some people tell me that it doesn't look so good, but once you try it, I think you'll like it. The mixture of vegetables, eggs, peppers and tomato sauce gives it color, besides some protein. You might like the taste better than the looks of it. Give it a shot, it won't kill yah!!

  • Decadent Desserts and Cookies. Zucchini lends moisture to baked goods. So, if you ever feel that your baked goods are too dry when you use nut and coconut flours, why not experiment with zucchini to see if it can resolve your problem?
