Saturday Vittles

 

My Daughter and I are trying to eat more healthy so I thought I would share some pictures on Saturday's of what we've made.

Baked Zucchini Rounds with a zucchini cheese sauce

You will need:

1 Large zucchini - cut so you have round pieces

1/4 cup of cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp. McCormick Chipotle & Herb seasoning

1/2 tsp. McCormick Garlic & Herb seasoning

1/2 cup chicken broth

2 TBSP oil

Salt and pepper to taste

What to do: 

Remove all of the inside of the zucchini rounds, leaving just a 1/2 inch inside. Set aside. 

Place zucchini rounds on a baking sheet, drizzle 1 TBSP of the oil on them and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the seasonings and bake in a 350F oven for 30 minutes, turning them over halfway. 

In a sauce pan add the middle parts of the zucchini and saute with the other 1 TBSP of oil until it is very soft and mushy. Break up any larger pieces with a fork. Add chicken broth, cheese and sprinkle in some of the spices. Cook over medium heat until sauce has reduced a little and is thicker. 

Drizzle sauce over the baked zucchini rounds. We served ours with baked chicken, tomatoes and celery.

This makes two servings of zucchini rounds. Each serving is 150 calories and 5 carbs.  (If you use 2 TBSP of the sauce)
