Topic for the day: Simple recipes for singles

The other day I received a zucchini, three tomatoes and three tiny cucumbers from someone’s garden. I wanted something simple, quick and wholesome to do with these vegetables.

My go to recipe for zucchini is:

Cut one zucchini into small round slices. Put in the bottom of a tiny oven proof casserole dish. Add a dash of vegetable stock. It should not cover the zucchini, but be just enough to soften it. Slice one medium sized tomato over the top. Add plenty of oregano and basil. Bake for thirty minutes in the oven at 350. Take out and add bruschettini or croutons. Top with shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese. Bake thirty more minutes until golden brown.

My recipe for cucumber and tomato is even simpler. Slice a small cucumber into a bowl. Slice a small tomato. Add cottage cheese to taste. Add a dash of black pepper. Add three tablespoons apple cider vinegar. Add spoonful of sunflower seeds which create a whole protein in combination with cottage cheese. Enjoy!
