Spring Vegetable Frittata for Mother

A special spring frittata recipe. It always feels a little wrong to make a frittata with freshly cooked vegetables, since the whole point of the dish is to use up leftovers, but seeing as we’re making this for a Mother’s Day brunch, we’ll make an exception. Make sure all your vegetables are tender, hot, and well-seasoned before adding your eggs, and not a lot can go wrong.

Zucchini, Potato and Tomato Casserole Recipe

It’s hard to believe this recipe for Zucchini, Potato and Tomato Casserole was first posted way back in July of 2014 and yet it remains one of the most popular and shared recipes I have to date! Now updated and reformatted for Yummly!, I’d thought I’d share it with you again.

This Zucchini, Potato and Tomato Casserole is such an easy dish with an elegant presentation! Don’t be intimidated by the arranged nature, it took me less than 10 minutes to do this entire thing. I started from the center in a spiral motion and just circled the edge with the remaining zucchini and potato slices.

Caramelized onions line the bottom, while slices of zucchini, potato and tomato are arranged on top, overlapping slightly. We drizzled it with melted vegan margarine. This recipe was inspired and veganized from this recipe in Southern Living.

NOTE: Keep in mind this is a crust-free casserole, so it’s low in calories but also is more of a spoonable dish rather than say, a tart you could slice. I’ve never tried it with a crust, but a few readers have asked. I am inclined to believe the moisture content of the veggies might compromise its integrity. If you try it, let me know!

Ingredients:

1 TABLESPOON OF OLIVE OIL
1 MEDIUM ONION
2 CLOVES OF…

Grandma’s Zucchini Relish

Most people make relish out of cucumbers, but my Grandma was always known for her zucchini relish.

Since Grandma passed this recipe down to me, I have absolutely fallen in love with it. It requires very few ingredients to prepare and the taste is outstanding!

We use zucchini relish as a condiment for hot dogs and hamburgers. However we also use it to brighten up our deviled eggs, egg salad and even in our ham salad recipes.

It is a great staple to have in the pantry or to share with friends. Best of all, you know that you made it yourself!

6 Useful Tips for Growing Zucchini Plants in Pots

If you’re a gardening enthusiast with limited space, growing zucchini plants in pots can be a great option. Not only do they add a touch of greenery to your balcony or patio, but they also provide you with fresh and delicious zucchinis for your culinary delights. To make sure your zucchini plants thrive in pots, here are six useful tips to keep in mind:

Choose the right pot: Selecting the right pot is crucial for the successful growth of zucchini plants. Opt for a pot that is at least 24-30 inches in diameter and 18 inches deep. This will provide enough space for the zucchini plant’s root system to grow and establish itself. Avoid using pots that are too small, as they can restrict root growth and hinder the plant’s development.
Use well-draining soil
