Right about this time of the year, my garden is loaded with zucchini and yellow squash. I believe zucchini and yellow squash is best eaten fresh, not frozen nor canned, so I have a regular line up of my favorite ways to prepare this veggie.
This is probable my all time favorite way to prepare zucchini, but I think I say that about every dish I prepare! In fact my children have a standing joke that I believe, every meal, every day, every trip and even every Christmas tree, every etc is, “The Best Ever”. Even our Fantasy Football League was even called, “The Best Football League Ever”, (yep they named it just to have another laugh at their dear old mom)!
But this is indeed, “The Best Zucchini Dish Ever”!
I can hear my children laughing right now and loads of eye rolling is going on!
But wait till they try it!
