Zucchini Provencal

Zucchini Provencal

Zucchini is now available at the Farmer’s Market. 

I still remember when I first grew zucchini in the garden.  I did not know what to do with the many zucchini that kept growing.  Zucchini Provencal was one of the first recipes that I discovered.

Zucchini Provencal is a layered dish of zucchini, onion, tomato and cheese baked together.

Very yummy!
