For the rib dinner last week we had my Nana’s zucchini appetizer. It is always amazing! It reminds me of summers in Chautauqua and eating on the back porch.

In an attempt to lighten things up, I made some changes to the traditional recipe. When I looked into the oven and saw that it looked very different than what I thought it would look like, i panicked and made another batch the regular way.

Here are the two ways.

Lightened Zucchini Appetizer

• 3 c. fresh grated zucchini (from Aunt Marilyn’s backyard organic garden)
• 3 egg whites
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. fresh oregano chopped fine
• 2 T. EVOO
• 1 c. multigrain baking mix (TJ’s)
• 1/4 c. parm.
• 1 t. salt and pepper
