Zucchini Cornbread is Worth the Try.

ZYMAROPITA:

Preheat oven to 375*

Grate 4 zucchini (I use a big food processor) and a pinch of salt. Let sit in a strainer to draw out the moisture.

 

 

 

 

 

Chop 1 Vidalia onion. Sautee onion in 2 T butter until transparent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 COMBINE:

 

 

1 box Jiffy Corn Bread/Muffin Mix 

½ c cream of wheat,

1 stick softened butter

5 eggs

16 oz. small curd cottage cheese

8 oz. well crumbled feta cheese

½ c milk

(I will also add any grated hard cheese I have including asiago, Parmesan, or Romano.)

 

 

 

Drain and squeeze zucchini and add to transparent onions and sauté for a few more minutes to remove more moisture.

 

 

 

 

Add zucchini/onion mixture to other ingredients in bowl. Stir and put in greased 9x13 cake pan.

 

 

 

 

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden on top.

 

 

 

 

If you can wait, cool for 15 minutes.  You can also serve at room temperature or cold.  Any way you serve it, it's delicious!

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

Dinner and Palm Sunday Cross Making

I never had any luck with baked veggies till recently.  The oven was never hot enough.  Yet, I thought I'd try it one more time.

I cut up eggplant, potatoes, zucchini, onions, garlic. Poured in a can of diced tomatoes, and a ton of oil. Sprinkled oregano, salt and a touch of cumin.

Slid it into a 450 degree oven and I waited.

It was looking pretty good... but it wasn't cooking fast enough, so I hiked the temp to broil and planned to get back to it.

Then I remembered I wanted to make this video on PALM FOLDING.

 

And then I remembered my dinner!!!!  

 

 

Baked Vegetable Medley

 

This is one of those recipes that doesn't really need to be written out, except that otherwise you might forget to cook it.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 
• Slice your vegetables and layer over 1/2 can of diced tomatoes in a baking pan. 
•  I sliced 3 potatoes, 2 zucchini, 1 onion, 2 green onions and 2 carrots. 
• Drizzle each layer with oil. 
• On top layer use seasonings: 4 crushed garlic cloves, cumin, parsley, oregano, salt and  pepper.
• I finished dish with the remaining diced tomatoes but I wish I had added a can of tomato sauce and a tsp of sugar.  The dish needed a bit more flavor.   
• Add 1/4 c water and keep an eye on dish to add more if needed so it doesn't dry out.
