Zucchini Moons
"The title and base of this recipe comes my daughter's cookbook "Pretend Soup" by Mollie Katzen. So easy and delicious as a veggie side dish in the summer. I use oregano here, but any fresh herbs would be delicious."

We have this book and tried this recipe last year. My granddaughter was 6 when we made this recipe together and she enjoyed it so much, she asks to buy zucchini any time we see it available. The family enjoyed eating the moons, too. Nice and easy way to use zucchini and a really great way to include kids in the kitchen!

Well, I love to cook! Big surprise there. I've gotten so many great recipes from RecipeZaar that I finally decided to join. My goal is to organize all of my stray recipes to make sure they don't get lost, and also to remember which ones we love! I like a lot of variety, so I rarely cook the same thing week after week. The trouble is, as time goes by, it becomes difficult to remember all of the dishes that everyone loved and/or menus that were a hit when we had company. I'm hoping RecipeZaar will help on that front.
I work part-time and have 2 young children, so mostly what I focus on these days is preparing simple, fresh, healthy meals that all of us will enjoy. Our kids are not coddled - they are expected to eat what they are served. However, I do try to have at least one item on the menu that I KNOW they'll like. They are very good eaters overall, but of course they have slightly different tastes, and my son is a "separator," which makes soups and casseroles a challenge sometimes. Luckily, my husband will eat anything (and I mean ANYTHING) that is put in front of him. :-)
