What's For Dinner - Part Deux

[redBlue 1]

We have burgers and fries from 5 guys, I wanted to try them before we leave this fine State. They were pretty good, actually tasted like something, which is a bonus - their fries are particularily good.

Since Mike is going to NASA he will probably eat there - some space food perhaps lol - I was going to post a picture of some food they eat on the space shuttle, but it looks so unappetising - I won't!

what does he do in NASA?

My wonderful husband is going to cook out on the grill tonight. It's actually the first time this summer. We were out of charcoal and then when he got more and planned our first cookout, it RAINED all day. We will also have sweet corn from the farmer's market.

So tonight I'm going to try Autumchik's version of zucchini scrambled eggs served with hashbrowns and freshly sliced tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden.

Here's the recipe for the zucchini lasagna I made last night- it was quite easy and surprisingly good. Joe said it was the best lasagna he has ever had- you don't even notice that it has no pasta,

Zucchini Lasagna

1 lb ground beef or turkey (I used turkey)

1 tbsp diced garlic

1 medium sized onion, diced

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

1 tbsp Mrs. Dash's seasoning (Table blend)

1 tsp basil

4 medium or one humungous zucchini (I used the humungous one, hehehe)

2 small Japanese eggplants, sliced

2 cups cottage cheese

1 egg

4 tbsp flour

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

In large skillet, cook garlic, onion and meat together until meat is no longer pink. Add Italian seasoning, Mrs. Dash's seasoning and extra basil. Add tomato sauce. Stir all together, then bring to boil and simmer, uncovered for about 5 minutes.

Slice the zucchini length wise into 1/4" slices. In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese and egg and mix together.

In a greased 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" pan layer half the zucchini to line the bottom of the pan. Cut to size if necessary. Cover the zucchini with sliced eggplant to make another layer. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of flour over the zucchini/eggplant layer. Pour in the cottage cheese/egg mixture and even out. Cover cottage cheese with half the meat mixture and spread to make another layer. Layer the remaining zucchini over top of the meat layer. Sprinkle the remaining flour over top of the zucchini layer. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese to it covers the zucchini/flour layer. Create the top layer by adding the rest of the meat mixture and spread it evenly overtop.

Bake at 375 F for 40 minutes or until heated through. (I left mine waiting in the oven with the heat off for an additional 15 minutes waiting for Joe to get home). Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Yields 4 to 6 generous servings. There is a bit of water in the bottom of the pan when you lift to lasagna out - that is the extra fluid from the zucchini and doesn't seem to affect anything - just drain it off.

Ok, scrambled zucchini omelette is also a keeper! I added some okra because it needed to be used today and some yellow squash as well.

That sounds soooo yummy! I'm not a fan of eggs alone, but omelettes...oh yeah! I bet the okra was good in it too.

P'zones at Pizza Hut. Not as good as Pizza Delight, but they were good.
