Zucchini

Well, my zucchini plant has recovered and I picked a nice, big zucchini the other day. And last night we ate it for supper. I have this most delicious zucchini recipe.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Then cut the Zucchini in half length-wise. Slit down the middle. Spread butter thickly over the cut side of the zucchini and sprinkle liberally with oregano (fresh or dried) and bake on a cookie sheet. When the zucchini starts to be tender (length of time depends on the size of the zucchini) remove from oven and sprinkle liberally with parmesan cheese. (if using fresh oregano, add some more of that at this time as well.) Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and starting to get toasty. Slice across the zucchini and serve.

Everyone, including my kids, loves zucchini cooked in this way. We even like it cold. With spaghetti, it replaces garlic bread in the meal. Last night we had it with cold chicken roasted in lemon. Mmmmmm, yummy! I'm going to go eat the last piece....
