What is Fruit?

Scientifically speaking, fruit develops from the flowering part of a plant and contains seeds. So while squash and zucchini are technically fruit, I prefer to classify them as nutritious and delicious!

When your garden is exploding with zucchini, the only thing to do is make this healthy salad to use it all up.

I hope you love this low carb family favorite recipe as much as we do!

Vegetables for Side Dishes

Organic vegetables are a must-have side dish for our family and an easy part of the path to healthy eating on a budget.

Veggies are an important and versatile component of my nutrient-rich diet. Below are some of my favorite vegetable side dishes.

Recipes Roasted Vegetables

Roasting is a simple process that can be used for vegetables as well as any protein or nut. And Roasted Cauliflower in the oven with Carrots and Zucchini is a fabulous choice for a vegetable medley.

When I’m in a crunch for time, my easy recipe for roasted asparagus fills our plate with a low carb vitamin rich green!

Recipe Zucchini Noodles

Veggie noodles are another great vegetable side dish! Although they were once few and far between, options for healthy low carb noodles are now abundant!

Pull out your spiralizer for zucchini recipes and spin zoodles to your heart’s content, or try using squash for spaghetti and meatballs.

Finally, for an Asian twist, go the seaweed noodle route and make my all-time favorite, kelp noodles with peanut sauce.

Zucchini Recipes Baking

I’m moving on from vegetable side dishes to dessert to provide you with more ways to use up your bountiful harvest of zucchini.

Zucchini Bread Chocolate

Sweetened with honey and a bit of vanilla stevia, Chocolate Zucchini Bread makes an excellent healthy snack for kids.

My moist and chocolaty gluten free zucchini bread is a breeze to pull together and one of the many reasons the food processor is my all-time favorite kitchen tool.

For this one pot recipe, all you need to do is combine the ingredients in the food processor, pour into a loaf pan, and then into the oven!
