  1. I made these tonight as a side to hamburgers and hot dogs and we ate them with ranch dressing. I initially made these large, and they didn't turn out so well. The second batch I made them no larger then the size of my palm and cooked them at medium heat and they turned out terrific. I definately will make these again!Thanks for a nice low carb side, they are hard to come by. :)
     
  2. I really liked these. I served mine with low carb ranch dressing. Thanks for sharing. I was started to get bored. This will be great next summer with all my fresh zucchini. I used some shredded zucchini that I frozen from last summer. It was a comination of zucchini and yellow squash.
     
  3. Delicious! Very tasty. My boyfriend and I loved them!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Currently working as a mental health provider for the US Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan. I work in Deployment Health - counseling military members returning from war. I was a bartender for 13 years (so the move over to counseling was not too great a leap...) and when I have time, love to write. My passion is travel - especially to tropical locales and eating is also one of my favorite pastimes. As a result of the eating pastime, working out is one of my not- so-favorite, but very necessary, hobbies. I moved to Okinawa Japan 11 years ago (May 2006) and hope to be here until I get tired of the place (after that who knows?!). I love cooking but wish I had a sous chef and a dishwasher to do all the dirty work!
