Here we are getting into the fall months and all we want to do is spend our time bundled up in a blanket on the couch with a cup of tea and the Food Network channel on all day...oh wait, maybe that's just me.
I ventured out yesterday from my warm, cozy home and went to my cousin's game night, where we played Farkle (such a fun dice game!) and Cards Against Humanity (always a good laugh with this game).
It was an appetizer and snack food kind of night, and I knew my sister was coming who just so happens to be a Vegetarian! So I figured I'd cater towards her just in case there wasn't a lot of other options for food (we are a meat loving family).
This is so quick to throw together, less than 15 minutes with prep time! And, IT'S DELICIOUS! Kids and adults alike will love this yummy side dish. Bring it as an appetizer or just make it as a side for dinner!

Ingredients:
- 2T olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 4 zucchini, diced (it's fall, so squash is winding down and they're teeny tiny, so I usually do 4-5 depending on the size)
- 1 cup corn kernels (you can used frozen, canned or fresh! I typically use frozen, because I have a huge bag in my freezer right now)
- 1/4t dried basil
- 1/4t dried oregano
- 1/4t dried thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2T fresh cilantro
- 2T+ Parmesan, to taste.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently for about 1 minute.
- Add zucchini, corn, basil, oregano and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in lime juice and cilantro.
- Sprinkle in Parmesan, as much as you prefer. I usually just dump it on top, but I've come to find that it melts together and then clumps a bit. So I would stir it in while it's still n the skillet and mix it all around in there. My picture shows it just being sprinkled (heavily, I used way more than 2T) on top.
It's a super quick and yummy dish to bring to any occasion.
