I'm BACK......and Zucchini Pie!

I'm linking this recipe up with The Better Baker Linky Party.  Go take a look-see!

Well it's been almost a whole month since I've been on my blog!  Yes, I took a little vacation.  I needed a break, even though I LOVE sharing my recipes, and my life, but it can be busy. 

We went on vacation down to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, what a wonderful time we had, being right on the beach, and we had perfect weather! 

We swam everyday in the ocean, played in the sand, shopped, and just spent time enjoying each other's company.  It was a great and relaxing vacation!

Morning Sunrise in the Outerbanks!

 
My Crazy Kids!

The kids go back to school next week, and I must say this was one of the best Summer's ever spent with my Hubby and kids.  We had a full summer filled with friends, family, and activities, but I can also say we had a lot of down time too, and that is so important to me.

Our garden is dying down, we had a wonderful harvest of veggies.  The tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, not too many cucumbers, who knows why, and the zucchini were plentiful, and we love our zucchini.



Here is a great recipe to use up all the Zucchini you have in the garden.  My Mom has been making this Zucchini Pie all of my life now, and it has always been a favorite of mine.  I use my "No Fail Pie Crust" recipe, or you can just use refrigerated pie crust if you want too. 

Zucchini Pie

4 Cups Zucchini sliced very thin
1 small onion chopped small
4 eggs beaten
1/2 cup Parm cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 TBS fresh parsley minced

No Fail Pie crust recipe, or 2 pie crust rolled out.

Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl, and stir until all combined.  Roll out half the pie crust, and put in a pie plate, add the Zucchini filling.  Roll out the other half of the pie crust, and put on top of the filling.  Make 3 slits in the top crust, and put in a preheated 350 oven for 1 hour.  Cool slightly and enjoy! YUMMO!

Zucchini Casserole

What a wonderful Fourth of July we had today!  My family came over, cousins I haven't seen in four years, I missed them, and so glad we were able to catch up, just like old time!  We also celebrated my sister and her husbands 25th Wedding Anniversary, they were surprised!  It was a very HOT day here in NJ, but it's Summer, and the pool really cooled us off!

I cooked up a storm like I usually do for any holiday.  One of the dishes on my menu was Zucchini Casserole.  I posted about this dish several months ago, and it's just too good, so I wanted to share it with you all again.  We have a beautiful veggie garden this year.  We planted Zucchini plants, they are covered with flowers, but no signs of Zucchini! 

Last year all our Zucchini plants died, what a disappointment!!!  So this year we are taking extra care watering, feeding, spraying the insects, and they look very healthy, and the plants are growing, but NO SIGN OF ZUCCHINI growing!  We are hoping, and praying for Zucchini, time will tell.

This recipe is so delicious, it uses Bisquick, only 1 cup, and it's so good, and of course, EASY!  Try this for your next get together, everyone loves it!  YUMMO!

Zucchini Casserole

3 cups of zucchini grated or sliced (I like it better sliced very thin)
1 cup Romano or parm. cheese
1 cup Bisquick or jiffy baking mix
1/2 cup oil (I use canola it's better for you than veggie oil)
4 eggs beaten
1 tsp. pepper/parsley, oregano
2 tsp. salt (make sure it's well seasoned)
1 small onion chopped

Mix all ingredients together, pour into a greased pie plate, or casserole dish, and bake for 45mins on 350. Delicious!!!!
