I've made this Veg.Times recipe for years now each summer when the zucchini come in. I usually do it the lazy way, though, with canned (no-salt, french cut) green beans, raw zucchini shredded or julienned on my mandolin, and already sliced sun-dried tomatoes w/their oil. I made it today, in fact, and almost typed it up for my page but here it already is.

I love to cook, and I work in the kitchen at a Christian Camp every summer!
I'm currently a student at the local Junior College, and after I transfer, I hope to major in English to become an English teacher. ^_^
