    These look so good - and really easy to make. This is definitely the time of year I use zucchini in so many things, so this is perfect timing!

    I'll have to bookmark these! They look great! Thanks for your comment. I was in the car at a stoplight reading your comment, had to put my phone down when the light changed. When I picked it up again, your comment was accidentally rejected! My apologies! That will teach me not to ready mail in the car!
