It’s Wednesday so I’m sharing some of my eats as well as a new veggie recipe that I actually enjoyed!
Breakfast
Mid-morning favorite
Lunch
**Insert apple + Justin’s almond butter packet for my pre-workout snack**
Dinner
I was feeling a little lazy last night so I made a pit stop at Whole Foods on my way home.
I paired the chicken with one of my favorite new recipes. I am finally starting to embrace zucchini a little more. I have also been on a bread crumb kick. I have no problem adding the extra calories if it means upping the greens.
Zucchini Chips (inspired by Cooking Light)
Ingredients
1 large zucchini
1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/2 cup skim milk
1/8 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425*F
2. Slice zucchini into 1/4 inch slices
3. In one bowl combine breadcrumbs, sea salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese.
4. In a separate bowl, pour milk.
5. Dip zucchini slices into milk and then into breadcrumbs. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes before baking.
6. Ensure baking sheet is lightly dusted with non stick cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes at 425*F. Flip zucchini slices over half way thru.
Chips should be crunchy on the outside and slightly tender on the inside. They are so good and quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to eat zucchini.
Dessert
A Whole Foods impulse buy.
Have a wonderful Wednesday friends!

Of course you loved these, they sound amazing. I don’t think grabbing a roasted chicken is lazy, you got yourself to whole foods after all.

Those zucchini chips look amazing – I love zucchini – too bad my husband hates it.
Your impulse buy looks amazing – sometimes we all need a little cake!

I eat zucchini only for you!!
Swapping regular chips for zucchini chips is a great way to healthify and fiber-up your meal! I love it!!
Oh yum, fried zucchini is my favorite. Granted, you can fry anything and I would probably like it.

I love zucchini and I especially love zucchini chips! Having them rest for 10-15 minutes is a great idea. The time I made them the coating fell off pretty easily. I will have to let them set up a little more next time.

I love breaded zucchini like that! And doing the same thing with eggplant is deliciously amazing, too.

Crispy vegetables are the best – my grandma does something similar to eggplant, which was the only way I’d eat it for a while! Totally going to try this with the zucchini too – looks like a winner!

I love carrot cake and your carrot cupcake just makes me crave it even more!!
Kim @ Eat, Live, and Blog recently posted..A Quick Update
Whole Food impluse buys are dangerous for me. It adds at least $20 to my total….
and now I’m craving cupcakes.
I love that Zucchini chips recipe – we make it all summer long! So good!

Zucchini chips look awesome! I roasted zucchini with squash, broccoli, and cauliflower tossed in olive oil w/ garlic, salt & pepper a few nights ago and my dad/brother loved it! Typically they aren’t huge veggie fans, but now that I got them hooked I should try out your recipe on them

Looks so good. The whole foods near me now has dark chocolate covered pretzels. Score

YUM! Raw zucchini is so plain- I don’t dislike it, but it just doesn’t taste like anything. I could definitely inhale a few zucchini by making them like this

These look delicious!
So easily, I get stuck in veggie ruts. I will be making this recipe to help change it up. Thanks!!
