Zucchini

Have you ever seen such a beautiful and vibrant flower?  I never realized how big a zucchini flower could get.  

The sight of this flower made me so happy this morning.  I just had to grab my camera and share!

Happy Canada Day!  Hope you're all enjoying this long weekend!

Pasta Sauce

Pasta Sauce

Pasta is always a favourite in our home and my famous meat sauce is one that everyone seams to love.  I'm often asked for this recipe and have therefore documented my original version below.

Over the years of making this sauce, I've been known to cut back or add an ingredient to give this sauce a different flavour.  The possibilities are endless!  Some family members enjoy their pasta saucy and others like just a little sauce as illustrated, but the one thing that everyone loves is a handful of grated Swiss Emmenthal Cheese sprinkled all over.  

Try sprinkling some fresh chillies overtop to give this dish a bite.

Stuffed Zucchini with Lemon and Egg Dressing


Stuffed Zucchini with Lemon  & Egg Dressing

This zucchini recipe is another that I learned from my Mom.  It's the Macedonian twist on a Greek recipe, It's my understanding the Spartans have a similar recipe they bake in the oven, however, this recipe is cooked in a casserole on the stove top.

The egg and lemon sauce is a classic in Greek homes and added to a variety of recipes.  Its purpose in this recipe is to take away the bitterness from the zucchinis, resulting in a scrumptious flavour for you to enjoy.

This stuffed zucchini recipe will feed a lot of mouths, so once again, this meal can be frozen as long as the ground meat is fresh and has never been in the freezer.  It also makes for great leftovers the next day.

Anyone with a vegetable garden that includes zucchinis, will also experience the great amount of vegetables that come from one plant.  Do you end up giving them away to family and friends?  Heres a solution:  You can always clean out the centres (seeds) and freeze as a whole and use them with this recipe throughout the winter.

Note:  zucchinis cannot be thawed and then refrozen.
