I Got Mail!

Check out what I got in the mail the other day.



My Aunt sent me a box of goodies from her garden.  We visited her garden last month when we went on vacation.  You can see photos of her lovely garden here.  Inside were:



Giant smiling zucchini!  There were three packed in there, but I didn't find the third until I had unpacked...



















these Roma Italian Beans.  I have no idea how to cook these, but they are perfect.  So I will be researching some recipes this week.  Now check out this beautiful bean footage....




















These suckers are, I'm not kidding you, at least 10 inches long.  And totally yummy.  The following are photos of where the zucchini ended up.  I apologize in advance for the messy pictures.  Everyone was starving so I could only snap a quick photo and didn't have a chance to clean up.



















Welcome to Zucchini Parmesan.  This totally scrumptious recipe can be found at "The Pioneer Woman." There was only one thing I changed in the recipe. I sliced the zucchinis lengthwise instead of into rounds.  I just didn't have time to fry up a bunch of batches of rounds.  I will also add breadcrumbs next time.  



















Again, sorry for the crime scene-esque photo, but my husband was ready to snatch the plate. I'm actually surprised his hand isn't in the picture.  Now, onto the beans....I'll keep you posted.

  3. The only reason my hand isn't in the picture is because the flash fires at 1/10,000 of a second. The 2nd 10,000th of the second has my hand grabbing the plate.
