My brother has an amazing garden and loves to share his goods. He is always begging me to take home truckloads of his fresh grown produce. Like a good sister, I take his produce, but only if he cleans it for me and has it all ready to be thrown in a pot and cooked. With the zucchini I only take it if he has it shredded for me and placed in a nice Ziploc bag.  He also makes huge batches of zucchini bread for all of us, which I will have to blog about later. Maybe he can star in my blog ;)

 My sister loves to saute her zucchini in olive oil and garlic topped with tomato sauce. She considers that a good healthy meal and I enjoyed it when she made it. I figured we could do it one night at my house. When I suggested this to Mike, he got that wild look in his eyes and glared at me. I could tell his was questioning my sanity and knew it was time to back down. He relented and agreed to try it in a side dish, but he did not want it to be the main event. I got it. Remember that whole, "I need a starch and protein in my meal" man thing...

After that ordeal, surprisingly, this dish turned out pretty tasty. Mike asked for seconds and so did my little guy, Bryce.
