Zucchini with Oregano

The weather here in Alabama has been awesome. We've had warm sunny days and cool clear nights. Spring-time is here!

When I saw that my recipe for this week was Zucchini with oregano... I rushed off to buy my herbs. To the garden center! It was the perfect afternoon to play in the dirt. I was able to get my pots planted with rosemary, basil and oregano.

I made a quick stop at the market to pick up some fresh zucchini~ never fresh enough to have the blossoms attached as you would see in Italy. It is as fresh as I could find locally. I am going to have to grow my own, or find a friendly neighbor with a garden if I want zucchini blossoms. I don't know why we haven't been on the fried blossom band wagon. I can look forward to some when I am in Italy in May.

Marcella's recipe for Sauteed Zucchini rounds with Oregano is just that. The simple layering of olive oil and garlic, with thinly sliced squash and fresh oregano. Fresh flavors that are so perfect together.

This is something that we will be able to enjoy all summer long!

Ciao y'all~

Sandi

No kidding, Beth. I hate to look out onto deck and see a dozen herb pots sitting forlornly, waiting to be planted.

It's very hard for me living on a balmy isle in the Gulf to realize how cold most of you must be.
