Here is the zucchini bread... not the traditional loaf,
cooked it in a Bundt pan... OMGOOOD!!!
For dinner I sliced and cooked some pre-made polenta in olive oil... topped
with some 21 Spice (Trader Joe's) and sea salt..
Then I broke up some chicken thighs I had cooked previously, added in the
pan olive oil, baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower (comes in a bag for stir
frying), spinach, a sliced zucchini, and tomatoes....
Topped with sea salt (in bunny bowl), 21 Spice, and
lemon garlic....
Let 'er cook and serve on top of the polenta....

Happy Monday. All I know. Nuff said. Ciao.
