~ Our first ever real vegetable garden is starting to give us the fruits of our labor and zucchini is one of those little goodies. We picked the first two zucchini today and I wasn't sure what I wanted to make with it. With a little thought and creativity, you can turn it into a delectable side dish even your kids will love. I mean, really, who doesn't love cheese AND bacon? Enjoy! ~
