I have a new recipe...that I think I created. I'm sure some of you have made this, too. But, please, let me bask in my glory! :)
It is my husband's newest favorite (and mine too) that I cook. It is simple and easy...and LOW in points. Winner!
Even my daughters will eat it.
Here are the pictures.
I call it...
Mediterranean Zucchini
(I don't know why I named it that...)
1. Start with fresh zucchini. Cut in up into bite size pieces. I use 3-4 zucchinis.
I cook them on medium in 2 tsp. of EVOO. The zucchini is 0 points. The EVOO is 2 points.
2. When those are cooked like I want them (still firm), I add in some cooked tomatoes.
These tomatoes are from my MIL's garden. She cooks them and then cans them.
I found some canned tomatoes (Delmonte) at the store that were 0 points.
3. I cook those until they are bubbly. Then I drain off the excess liquid.
Then, I sprinkle Parmesean Cheese in it and stir.
1/8 of a cup is 1 point. But I doubt I use that much.
4. Then, I sprinkle 1/4 cup of mozarella shredded cheese (2 points). I cover the pan and let it melt.
5. Yum! I know it looks like a lot of cheese, but it is only melted on the top.
The whole pan is 5 points. :)
I usually eat about 1/6 of pan or maybe a bit more.
**************
I have been using these measuring cups/bowls. I bought a scale to weigh my food, but these cups really help me to measure my food and keep track of my points. They stack up so cute!
I hope you make this dish and love it as much as me! :)

Cute bowls...I've never seen measuring bowls before...what a good idea! Zucchini is hard for us to find this time of year...but my neighbor always gives me a lot in the summer from her garden...and I always run out of way to make it. I will put this in my recipe folder...it looks really yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks super yummy. Thanks for posting.

ReplyDeleteWow, that looks deliciousssss ! My mouth is watering now...Thanks for sharing !!!
ReplyDeleteI love the veggie combo too; we make it with onions and mushrooms as well. [And maybe a small amount of cheese occasionally...not usually.]
