I added some yellow squash too for color and some scallions.
Quick and easy – and oh so good!
While looking for coupons and planning dinners for the week I bumped into this site. I’ll be making the zucchini tonight and the smoked brisket next week. Thanks so much!
First time I’ve seen your web site and I have already printed 2 recipes to try.
I, too, am a Southern wife and mom. We love southern cooking.
This skillet zucchini is right down my ally. I love squash and zucchini. Always trying new
ways to fix them. Thanks for sharing. I will be back!!
Delicious! I added in some chopped chicken breast to make it a complete meal.
I tried this recipe and my family loved it – even my 20 yo son who claims to “hate” zucchini gave it a try and went back for seconds! We made this along with your balsamic chicken skewers and it was a light, healthy summer meal. Easy and delicious. Thanks!
There’s no such thing as too many zucchini recipes. This look fabulous!
Have a great day Robyn!
Nothing better that fresh vegetables and herbs. I’ll take this any day over store bought veggies.
This is why I love your recipes. Real food, real simple! Thanks Robyn! Pinning it!!
A nice and simple recipe. Thanks so much Robyn.
