Zucchini

We have TONS of zucchini in our house due to Aryks wonderful and amazing gardener Nana and our landlady who has things growing in her garden which she doesn't know about.

So for dinner tonight i decided to make something with zucchini before it goes bad and to waste.

Zucchini casserole?
 Allllllllright...

Cook rice (3/4 rice 1/3 water)
1 1/2 pound zucchini Annd a cup green onion (which I grow at home now!! You just put the ends of your store bought green onion in water and it starts growing rapidly! Quite amazing really) and chopped onion in a oiled up heated pan (I had it on medium heat) and let it soften up

Meanwhile get a cup and a half of slices tomatoes a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and toss it into the pan with the others once your zucchini looks softened
Add 1tsp garlic salt, basil .. Whatever seasonings you jolly well please

Annnnd plunk it in a casserole dish
Awwwh pooh. All this work and apparently we have no casserole dish! Very Kristen kinda day type happenin.. Event.


Eventually got it sorted! Only filled half the thing but whatever.
Throw a cup of cheese ontop

Oven 350 - cook 20 minutes- yum

And zucchini is sooooo good for you!
Low in calories, high in protein and fiber, high water content so it helps prevent you from dehydration, cancer fighter, high in vitamin c, folate, beta carotene!! Need I go on?
no! If you wish to know more do homework and look it up! Anyways yay zucchini and yay that it worked out!
