SO here is the update.....

My camera is broken..... BROKEN! So right now I am unfortunately not going to be able to post pictures with my recipes

Sad I know!!!! But don't worry I will try to get it fixed as soon as possible until then here is a fun little dip that is good for small parties or BBQ's

Cream Cheese Dip

Ingredients

One large tub of whipped cream cheese

Green onions, Chopped ( about 3/4 cup )

1 lemon

1 cup milk ( milk can vary )

Wheat thins or chips

DIRECTIONS

Put cream cheese into bowl and slowly whisk in milk. If you would like your dip thinner you can add more milk. When all the clumps are out squeeze lemon in and mix together. Then stir in green onions. Serve or chill until ready.

Fried Zucchini

So my best friend Karlie gave me this recipe and I had to share it with everyone! Delicious!!!!

I was lucky because we had fresh garden zucchini too! ( thanks mom!)

One large zucchini

3 eggs

1 cup Italian bread crumbs

4-5 Tb. Olive Oil

-Slice Zucchini half inch thick or thinner slices

-Have a bowl ready with eggs whipped together

-Have a plate ready with bread crumbs spread around

-Heat pan with 4-5 Tb. Olive Oil get olive oil pretty hot

-Dip zucchini slice in egg then bread crumbs both sides, then put in the hot pan. Let the zucchini brown on both sides. It takes too long for the zucchini to cook through in the hot oil so I have the oven preheated to 350 and I place the browned zucchini on a cookie sheet covered in foil and bake them uncovered for twenty minutes or so. Also if the zucchini has a lot of seeds in the middle I have cut out the seeds and made them zucchini rings. The bigger the zucchini the more seeds there will be.



Eat em HOT! And you have to dip them in your favorite Ranch. Mmm, Enjoy!
