Zucchini and Ricotta Frittata - WWDH


It must be, without my teaching schedule that I lose track of some of my responsibilities.  It is true, when I don't go to work, each day, I am at a loss what to do next.  It is not that I don't have plenty to do.  Actually, I have more responsibilities and tasks.  
While the summer is supposed to be vacation, it is also an opportunity to catch up on what I can't do during the school year.  I make a point of making scheduled appointments during the summer which takes off the pressure of working them into my work schedule.

 As a result every day is different.  I may have a luncheon date, one day and a doctor's appointment on another.  I just might want to have a shopping treat day or go see one of the kids.  While, I love this for the summer, I am a more productive person, on a schedule, the months that I teach.

 Why am I telling you all of this?  I mixed up which recipe, I was supposed to make this week for Wednesdays with Donna Hay.  Of course, I did this, on a week when the chosen recipe was mine.  Furthermore, I have really wanted to make this for a long time.  I love cheesy casseroles and here is this marvelous zucchini ricotta dish and I didn't make it.......at least, not until tonight.  

 I am glad, I chose this and that I made it.  It is a one bowl recipe and a one pan recipe.  You mix all the ingredients together, after shredding the zucchini which I did in my mini food processor.  There are few ingredients, the most important being the zucchini, ricotta and Parmesan.  I guess the eggs count also.  I cut the recipe to about 3/4 of the original and we could have eaten more.  I learned my lesson.

 The finished product was this creamy cheesy mixture with a subtle flavoring from the zucchini.

 You can find the recipe here.

    Hubby is a teacher and with him and the kids all home during the summer vacation months it makes for a very different schedule, so I can totally empathize with you about that! I love frittata, and I'm especially fond of one bowl one pan/pot meals! I'm so glad you've joined us at The Yuck Stops Here recipe link party, I hope you'll bring another delicious recipe or two next week (technically tomorrow evening, lol). HUGS!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
