Recipe for Zucchini Bake with Feta and Thyme
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. I am just starting to get zucchini and yellow squash in my garden, and this is favorite zucchini side dish will be on the menu soon!) This is a recipe I came up with to use the surplus of zucchini in the garden, so I'm begging for understanding from readers who don't have garden veggies available. The good news is that this recipe can easily be made with zucchini and yellow squash from the store or farmers market too. I consider this to be a season-spanning vegetable side dish, but with the protein from a couple of eggs and the feta cheese, it could easily be a main dish too. The first time I made this I used three eggs and only 1/2 cup of feta. I love thyme, and like to experiment using it in dishes where you might not expect it, so I used fresh thyme leaves in this. I used two medium-sized yellow squash and two medium-sized zucchini, which gave me almost 8 cups of sliced squash.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Burritos
My blog is getting to the age where there are an awful lot of wonderful recipes buried deep in the annals of sub par photography and rushed recipe write-ups. Because we eat with our eyes, it is hard to imagine why anyone would attempt to make this recipe after viewing the first photo here. But they have. And everyone who has tried this meal loves it every bit as much as I do. It is a shame how many times I’ve made this recipe since initially posting that recipe without taking another photograph.

Perfect Iced Coffee
Iced coffee is my life. When I wake up, often around the time party animals on the west coast are just heading home, I start each day not with a cup of freshly brewed hot java, but with a tall, blessed glass of creamy iced coffee in a glass. I’ve been an iced coffee freakazoid for years and years. To say I couldn’t live without it is an understatement. It gives me the tools I need to cope. Iced coffee is a complicated thing, and there are many different approaches. 1. Given the previous set of facts, one would assume that the logical solution would be to brew hot coffee, then transfer the brew to the fridge, allow it to cool, and use it to make iced coffee from there. There are reasons this method results in a smoother, richer, more delicious concentrate than simply brewing strong coffee and refrigerating it. (Note: I’ve totally adapted/tweaked coffee/water amounts to suit my own tastes. I start with a big ol’ container. Rip open a pound of ground coffee. Pour in the coffee. Glorious.
Zucchini Tots
The original name for these was Zucchini Bites, which was okay. But when these were baking, they smelled just like tater tots. I changed up the recipe a little (by using seasoned bread crumbs,parm. cheese, & I drained the zucchini) so I decided to change the name too and called them "Zucchini Tots instead.And "tots" does mean small and these are small (baked in a mini muffin pan) so the name fits. Zucchini Bites yields: 12 mini muffins 1 cups zucchini, grated 1 egg (1 large egg equals 3-4 tbsp when whisked together) 1/4 yellow onion, diced 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work the best) 1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian style Salt and Pepper 1.
