Today’s post is short and sweet, just like this recipe for parmesan zucchini. If you’ve read my most recent motherhood post, you know that between the move, new baby, and new school year, I’m doing my fair share of carryout mixed with homecooked meals. While the homecooked meals are less glamorous than usual, I find that my kiddos take to the less glamorous, especially when it comes to eating more veggies.

And as soon as you scroll down to the recipe for parmesan zucchini you can only guess the main reason they devoured this one: PARMESAN. The shredded kind. When added to a pan of hot zucchini it melts quite nicely over the top- and the kids love throwing it by the handful into the skillet- or their mouths. It also helps that green vegetables are a diet staple for dinosaurs and the Hulk [which I usually remind them of before eating]. Funny how that trick seems to help too.

Want to know what also helps when it comes to getting my kids to eat more veggies? ACTIVITY. Specifically swimming. They seem to work up an appetite while at the pool… notice I’m taking this picture in secret because when Lily sees my phone, she screams for YouTube videos!

Whether you have an overflow of zucchini in your summer garden or are looking for a side dish that takes minimal time to make, then give this 10-minute parmesan zucchini a try. The Hulk approves- along with prehistoric wildlife!
