Zucchini Bites
I don't know about you, but my garden is in full swing. This year we planted lots of types of squash so stay tuned for loads of recipes! We have already been enjoying our green and yellow zucchinis. I could eat zucchini just about every day. It doesn't even need to be fancy, just sauté it in butter and salt and i'm good! The kids however...like their zucchini...in disguise;) This recipe they loved! These little bites flew off the platter faster than you can say,"Pass the zucchini." I will be making this one again I am sure.
