Zucchini Parm Dip


We've been trying to eat healthier lately. Less (to no) meat and other junk and more veggies, fruits and just healthier things. I wont lie, it has definitely been hard. Half of the time I feel like NOTHING is truly healthy and the other half of the time I feel like it's just too expensive to eat healthy. Here's a little recipe that's pretty inexpensive (we usually have most of these things on hand) and pretty healthy. 



1 Zucchini
1/2 Onion
3 Garlic Cloves
1/2 Green Pepper
Oregano
Thyme
Salt
Pepper
Parmesan Cheese
Olive Oil


Heat olive oil in hot iron skillet until shiny. Next, on medium heat, cook onion for 2 minutes then add garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper cook 2-3 minutes. Add green pepper cook another 2 minutes then grate in zucchini and cook until zucchini is soft and ingredients come together (about 3 minutes). Grate parmesan cheese on top and place under broiler until browned.
Serve with crackers, tortillas or toast.  (It's really good on Ritz crackers!)


I'm sure there are a ton of different varieties you can come up with for this dish. I'd love to hear your recipes and see pictures! :)

Remember...

Yesterday as I was leaving for work Julien kept telling me I was pretty. He gave me 2 kisses as I was walking for the door and when we got to the door he pushed me out and closed the door behind me. He cracks me up doing funny things like that all the time and every time I think about how I want to remember it forever.


Today we picnicked at the park. It was beautiful out but HOT. Then we went to Lowes and Julien and I walked around the garden section planning our imaginary garden. 

Things I don't want to remember are how up in the air things still are but days like today make it bearable...
