One-Pan Summer Eggs
"This sounds like a nice way to use up all those extra zucchinis and tomatoes that so many people have from their gardens in the summer. I found this recipe in the August 2008 copy of BBC Good Food Magazine."

This was great and we enjoyed this immensely. The vegetables and herbs work very well with the eggs. I used 6 eggs instead of 2 to make this a filling brunch for three people (2 eggs each). -
I cut the zuchinni up in small pieces and used cherry tomatoes from the garden. I scaled this down for one and really enjoyed it! Thanks Sarah! -
A nice quick super for DH and me. I did not have cherry tomatoes but I did have a fresh from the garden tomato that worked very well. This was served as suggested with some crusty sourdough bread. Made for the October 2008 Aussie Swap. -
Fast and easy! In step 4, I added some cumin and chili powder to the vegetables, which was a great way to spice it up a little bit. We really enjoyed this served with some cornbread and honey. Thanks for a keeper!

These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
