Three Zucchinis in three days.

I found a recipe for spring risotto with zucchini and peas that looked pretty fast and easy, so I went to the store and bought the stuff. It wasn't as fast as I thought, since you have to be doing things including stirring for an hour, but the zucchini was so delicious I went back the next day and bought two more.


I made some rice and cooked the zucchini the same way- sauteed it in butter for about five minutes after cutting it into 1/2 inch squares- and added some blanched asparagus. Really very simlple and delicious. But the zucchini was still the most delicious part.


The day after that, I took out my zucchini and cooked it the same day- with the idea of just eating it plain (I use coarse salt after I saute it in butter- I'm not going to pretend its the healthiest way, but its the most delicious way to get a serving of vegetables) Instead after the zucchini was done I fried a tortilla in the remaining better- it takes 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons for a smaller zucchini- and while it was browning on the second side, put a little parmesan on the top- removed it, and put the cooked zucchini's on it. This was the simplest and most delicious of them all.

I might have to head over to safeway tonight for round two. Or should I say four?

Po' Boys

Just leafing through my Test Kitchen cook book and came upon these sandwiches. (Thanks again, Tanya!!!) Tangy and crunchy but certainly NOT on anyone's diet plan. (Kelly says I must admit the kitchen smelled of fried shrimp for two days afterward... Thank heavens for Scentsy.)
