Just bought zucchini and squash at the grocery today. This looks like my kind of new year’s recipe. Delicious. Thank you for sharing. I have fixed something similar with ‘zoodles’ and onions. Glad to have a new recipe to try.
Zoodles and onions would make them an entire meal! Even better. One recipe is all it would take. Thanks Leslie. I am going to have to try that. Have a wonderful week.
TONS of zucchini here in the summer, you can BET I’ll be making these.
Thanks for linking up to the Friday Frenzy!
Give me a shout if you give this zucchini a try! It is a great recipe to give a try Kathleen. Especially if you like zucchini. Have a great week!
I love the sound of this recipe and the ingredients. I don’t really like olive oil and I always looking for ways to include it in recipes without tasting it too much. This should be perfect. The Blogger’s Pit Stop will feature your awesome recipe.

I love zucchini, but struggle to find new ways to incorporate it into my diet. This sauteed treat looks really yummy and so healthy, too.
This is a great recipe! If you eat meat, to change it up, you can add it to any type of ground meat. I use corened beef ot turkey. Enjoy!!
