Speaking of an abundance of zucchini, I came across this recipe on the Whole Living website last week and thought it sounded like a delicious and different way to use the zucchini I had so much of. I changed a couple of things around, like using fresh oregano instead of dill and parsley, since my oregano is growing out of control and it seemed like a perfect match with the other lovely mediterranean flavors. I also had a ton of cherry tomatoes from our garden, so I quartered a handful of those instead of using a whole tomato like the original recipe called for. If yellow zucchini is unavailable, you can use just green zucchini.

This simple crustless pie had so much flavor and was perfectly filling. I made it for dinner last night and since there was so much leftover, I had a slice of it for breakfast.
