    Zucchini pancakes? What is the zucchini subbing in for?

    I only ate out twice last week, but we did have Chinese take out at home one night. I ordered a pint of chicken and broccoli and egg drop soup. I did not eat the crunchy noodles that came with the soup, and saved half of the chicken and broccoli for a second meal.

    think zucchini instead of salmon patties.....veggies with flour eggs and seasoning. best with salsa. sneaky way to get veggies in

    zucchini is one of my favorite veggies....i used to dice it and sprinkle it on pizza....also cook it a lot on the grill in kabobs and fish in a foil packet.

    I like to add diced/cubed zucchini to my chili. Gives the same texture as beans, for a lot less carbs!

    trialing a new weight loss app for our diabetes class called Noom. has goal specialist assigned but i am guessing it is just the computer ! still log in but only emphasis is on calories and healthy choices. it is cute with quizzes and daily lessons. doubt I would buy it ( monthly fees x 6 months is only option) but it is cute. database not as complete as myfitness pal.

    had to buy zucchini! ( usually there is suplus from friends gardens) thinking grilled in kabobs of course, fish foil packs too, but maybe some zucchini baked fries! wonder if cooked zucchini could be used in smoothies?
