Now I have to go get some zucchini and make this... a slow cooker frittata. Looks fabulous, sounds heavenly... In the recipe it says 150 grams of feta cheese... that is 5oz.
My dinner was something a little different....first I made some Alfredo
sauce. Never made this before..
1/2 cup butter
1 pkg cream cheese
1 cup milk (recipe called for 1/2 & 1/2)
1/3 cup Parmesan
1 T garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter in saucepan. Add package of cream cheese cut into pieces so it
melts faster. Mix together. Add milk (or 1/2 & 1/2) , Parmesan, garlic
powder, salt/pepper. Stir together, mixing well. Take off burner and set aside
so it will thicken up. Stir often.
I got out some of Harry & David's angel hair pasta and I thawed some
scallops, rinsed them in cold water, and patted them dry.
Next was to cook the scallops using olive oil and then melting in butter
and browned them a little on each side. Then added in some lemon juice.
The pasta got cooked and drained. Plated some with a topping of heated
green beans.....
Then I added the scallops into the Alfredo sauce and it warmed and then
topped the spaghetti/green beans with that....
OMGOOOOOOOD!!!!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

August 08, 2017 is
National Zucchini Day
It’s National Zucchini Day! Today we celebrate this
versatile green vegetable and all the delicious dishes we can make with
it.
The common zucchini is a close relative of the cucumber and
the melon. It is a type of squash that comes from Italy. In fact, the name
“zucchini” comes from the word “zucchino,” which means “small squash” in
Italian. The largest zucchini on record was 69.5 inches long and weighed 65
pounds! It probably wouldn’t have tasted very good though. For the best flavor,
always choose a small or medium sized zucchini.
To celebrate National Zucchini Day, plan a dinner menu full
of this healthy vegetable! Grill it, bake it into bread, or add it to a salad.
Bon
appétit!
