Hi Everyone,
Half way through the week! I am looking so forward to the weekend!!! No plans just enjoying myself. I told myself that I want to do something every weekend, even something small to make me feel good and smile. I’m thinking a nice hike through the Berkeley Hills this weekend. Hope Little Jenny is up to it!!!
Since I have an over abundance of tomatoes and zucchini I decided to do a spin-off of my Grilled Zucchini Pizza.
This bake is so simple and mighty delicious!!! I used one of my 8 ball zucchini’s and 2 medium tomatoes freshly picked from my garden. If you don’t have an 8 ball zucchini, regular zucchini will work too!!!
For added flavor I added mozzarella cheese and basil to my bake. Yum!!! For my Husband who is not a zucchini fan, I added pepperoni to his. All I can say is he ate it right up! I swear I can only get that man to eat his veggies if I add pepperoni or bacon to it. I personally love it fresh!!!
I want to tell you that I have been keeping up on my 90 day workout program. I feel great about it and I even lost a couple of pounds that I gained from my Las Vegas trip. So now I’m back to where I began with. I have about 8 more pounds to lose. I’m going to enjoy my workout journey this time around. I’m going to do it because I like it, not because I have to. I’m changing my mindset with exercise. I guess it’s all because it’s a stress reliever and I am loving the Chalean Extreme workout. I do enjoy strength training, it makes me feel strong and that I can do anything. I guess you can say I am on a workout high right now! 🙂
- Serves: 2 10 oz servings
- Serving size: 1 10 oz serving
- 1 8 ball zucchini, sliced thin (181 grams)
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced thin (252 grams)
- 1 Tbsp. basil, divided
- 1 dash salt
- 2 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Preheat oven to 425
- Spray two oven safe 10oz. ramekins or oven safe bowls with cooking spray.
- Evenly divide the zucchini between each bowl, sprinkle with salt and ½ of the basil.
- Add tomatoes on top and sprinkle with remaining basil. Top with cheese.
- Place in oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Well my wonderful Friends, I am going to get going. I have a wonderful little cookie recipe that I want to make. I have been working on it for a while and I’m hoping to make it perfect to share with you. So stay tuned.
Have a wonderful day!
Toodles,
Jen
P.S. My first stop in Vegas. It’s bad I know, but i miss Dunkin Donuts! I love their vanilla coffee. Why can’t thy have a Dunkin Donuts in California? I guess I”m better off that they don’t!
My has will eat just about anything with bacon too. Eggplant is his worst nightmare. This bake looks marvelous. I don’t even like donuts but had to try the Oreo one. Yum, yum!
Oh my gosh if I served my Husband eggplant he would not touch with a 10′ spoon!! That darn Dunkins! I don’t eat donuts myself, but like you I had to try the Oreo one too!! It was sooooooooo good!
I adore the fresh flavors in this! You coudl add basil and mozzarella to just about anything and I’d be in love 🙂
I know me too! I love basil and mozzarella together! Yummy!!

Anything baked with cheese is good in my books 🙂 I love how simple and fresh this is, I’ll be making this as a side dish I think!

Dunkin coffee is my favorite 🙂 I need more veggies than coffee in my life though and this is such a good way to get there!
