Happy Sunday All! I hope everyone is staying warm in this god awful weather. It’s freezing here in Calgary today! It’s a great day to have the oven on and to be in the kitchen whipping up Meal prep for this week ahead.

A few friends of mine, have been after me for this quick and easy side dish I make all year long! I can do this on the grill in the Summer as well, but it is perfect for a cold day like today to turn the oven on and have this with dinner!

This recipe is vegetarian-friendly and fairly healthy. The cheese could be cut back if you really wanted to make it super healthy.

Here is the recipe for my quick & easy Zucchini & Tomato Bake

Ingredients:

• 2 Zucchini – cut into slices
• 3 to 4 Roma Tomatoes cut into slices
• ¼ cup of butter melted
• 1/4 or 1/3 cup of White Wine (something you would DRINK)
• 2 Fat Garlic cloves minced
• ½ cup Italian 3 cheese shredded mix
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 bunch fresh basil chopped
• 1/8 tsp of each salt & pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Cut and place tomatoes and zucchini into 8 x 12 pan, laying between the two slices
3. Add butter, wine, garlic, basil, and S&P to a bowl and mix together
4. Pour the mixture over the layers so it runs down into the pan
5. Add cheeses over the top
6. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour
7. Cover in tin foil for the first half-hour. Remove for last half hour
8. Let sit for 3 minutes before serving

Serves 4-6

Partners well with Grilled Chicken or Chicken Parmesan!!!
