I apologize for my absence these last few days. I started a new job last week as a event planner consultant for the local paper and have been quite busy. Nevertheless, I'm back now.
First I'd like to share a yummy recipe I discovered last week. In case you don't know, I am not a big veggie lover. So when I find a good recipe that has veggies in it, I get really excited. Such was the case last week.
My hubby and I buy zucchini on almost every grocery visit. However, the only thing we usually put it in is a stir fry recipe we like to make. This is good for me because the zucchini taste is masked by peppers, teriyaki sauce and chicken. I can eat it. Well last Wednesday I wasn't in the mood for stir fry, but I really needed to use my zucchini before it went bad. So I went on a search for a good zucchini recipe. And what should I stumble upon, but zucchini chips. And they were very good!
Here is the recipe.
Ingredients" 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fat-free milk
2 1/2 cups (1/4-inch-thick) slices zucchini (about 2 small)
Cooking spray
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°.
Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Place milk in a shallow bowl. Dip zucchini slices in milk, and dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Place coated slices on an ovenproof wire rack coated with cooking spray; place rack on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes or until browned and crisp. Serve immediately.

It was simple and delicious. And I think it'd make a great appetizer or snack for your next dinner party.
Secondly, I'd like to show you these. These simple slip covers, featured on CoastalLiving.com are a great way to add a little whimsy to your kitchen...or cover up an ugly, battered chair. And you can make multiple colors and switch them out with the seasons! What do you think?
Mallory, did this picture come from a website called simple cottage?

No, I think it came off another website that didn't have a reference for it. Usually if there is one, I'll list it. It looks like an editorial photo though since there's staging. I'll try to do another search and see if I can find where it came from.
ReplyDeleteFound them! They were on coastalliving.com. I have it referenced in the entry now. Let me know if you have any other questions.
ReplyDeleteThis exact picture is on this website called the simple cottage gallery. Google it! They have really neat stuff. I bought a lamp from there a few years ago and absolutely love it. It's one of a kind and quite a unique find. Check out the site, it's right up your alley. I am really enjoying your blogs.
