Fried Zucchini Strings
"We are getting ready to have TONS of zucchini soon, so was looking up recipes. Found this on The Pioneer Woman Cooks site and it looks SO tasty! I have not yet tried these. Someone on that site suggested giving them a light flour coating before frying, but I will try them without first. Let me know if anyone tries this before I get to it!"

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
