My first homegrown zucchini!

Last night I finally got to pick something from the garden. A beautiful zucchini! I couldn't wait to cook it. I wanted to try to keep it as fresh as possible, not alter the zucchini too much by means of breading etc, so I could actually enjoy the flavor of my very own zucchini.

I decided to roast it in the oven with just a few spices. 

I chopped the zucchini into disks, and put them into a gallon ziplock bag. I added about a tablespoon of Olive Oil, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and thyme. Shook it all up, and spread them out on a foil covered cookie sheet. I baked at 350* for about 20 minutes, sprinkled them with a little bit of Parmesan cheese, and put them back in the oven on broil for another 2-3 minutes. They tasted amazing! I ate a few just like that, and a few dipped in a little bit of Cucumber Ranch salad dressing.

Soo so good!

Can't wait to pick a few more! I have a couple that look like they'll be good to go by the weekend!

Quick, Yummy, 160 Calorie, Tuna Snack in Under 5 Minutes

I was so hungry, so so hungry. We had been running around all afternoon and I hadn't kept up with my "eat a little something every 3 hours" normalcy, so by the time we got home I was STARVING. I tried to figure out something filling and quick I could throw together, and heres what I came up with.

What you'll need:

One can of Tuna in water (drained)

Lemon Juice (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

Dill (to taste)

Fresh minced garlic (the natural stuff in the jar) (to taste)

2 Pieces of Wasa

Fresh Cucumber

What you'll do:

Mix the tuna, lemon juice, pepper, and garlic together.

Top Wasa toasts with the tuna mixture.

Cut slices of the fresh cucumber and place on top

Sprinkle dill over cucumber.

Sound easy enough? It is. It took me less than 5 minutes. And it was surprisingly filling for only 160 calories! 

Enjoy :)
