Day 2: Eli eats ALL of his zucchini and tries roasted chickpeas!!

Seasoned & sauteed  zucchini with cheese, smoked sausage and olive pasta salad for dinner tonight. And a new snack for today was sweet and salty roasted chickpeas which got mixed reviews (1 like, 2 take-it or leave-its, 1 yuck).

Zuc & Cheese
*(I tried to convince the youngest that it was like mac & cheese but with green macaroni and he responds by saying 'but I don't see any mac and cheese mama, where?"
2 zucchini cut into thin strips (I used my mandolin)
Garlic powder
Minced onion
Salt
Cheddar cheese

1. Cut the zucchini into French fry like strips. The mandolin works great for this.
2. Heat a pan to medium, spray with cooking spray and cook zucchini until soft, but not mushy.
3. While cooking, add whatever seasonings you would like. I added some garlic powder, a little onion, and some kosher salt.
4. After 8-10 minutes it was soft and I sprinkled some cheese on top and let that melt before removing from the stove. I mixed the cheese with the zucchini before presenting it as green mac and cheese to the boys.
