Bee's Zucchini Pie
"This is an adapted version of my beloved grandma Bee's specialty. It is reminisent of quiche, but with no crust and a tad lighter. At pot luck's it always seems to be the first dish gone and it works wonderfully as lunch the next day with a small salad or any sort of chopped vegetables. The secret is to use good quality cheese in order to really bring out the flavors and it can definetly be prepared earlier in the day or even the night before (but please refridgerate) and baked whenever needed. Hope you enjoy!"

I love to cook, but am still an amateur. I especially have a flair for Italian inspired dishes and love "Everyday Italian" and "Barefoot Contessa" from Food Network. Baking poses quite a challenge for me, as measuring does not come easily, but so far my boyfriend and family have had no complains!
