Zucchini Pizza Bites
Sliced Zucchini topped with pizza sauce, sausage, pepperoni, mushroom or whatever is your favorite topping. Add shredded mozzarella cheese to the top with fresh basil and bake in the oven. This is my new favorite Zucchini recipe and we made a meal out of it.
Spray a large baking sheet with cooking oil.
Place the sliced zucchini flat on the pan.
Place about 1 Tbsp. pizza sauce on top of each slice of zucchini.
Add the meat or vegetable toppings.
Add the cheese.
Add the chopped basil. Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 5-10 minutes or until the zucchini is soft.
Turn the oven off and the broiler on. Broil for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown. Serve immediately.

That happened to me too Joni. It deleted mine when I tried to save it. You have to make sure you are in the old classic at all times. If you click the plus the the left side has a search. Type classic and click on the box below that says classic. Then you should see the save draft and preview like before. I hope I am telling you right I just learned this today. It has been a lot of trial and error. I still have no idea how to do the new block way. Thank God they left most of the classic alone but it is still challenging for me.

I had a follower ask me to make a vegetarian recipe. I know nothing about eating vegan or vegetarian. However, I thought this was about as close as it gets if they leave the meat topping off and just use veggies. Definitely a low carb recipe for sure.

I don’t know about vegan diets/meals either … it is really restricted and without using any animal products, I think you’d be hard-pressed to make a lot of dishes with no milk or eggs.
On another note, we had a 3.4 magnitude earthquake in Monroe at 6:55 p.m. tonight. I live maybe 12 miles from there but I thought someone was at my side door as I felt it rattle … that’s what happened the last minor earthquake we had in 2018 (3.6). Yikes.

The one we had in 2018 was a 3.6 magnitude and originated from Amherstberg, Ontario and that was even closer … I felt the rumble under my feet. That earthquake, this earthquake and the meteor strike I was sitting in the same position, here at the kitchen table at my laptop – in each instance the screen door rattled … it was not dark yet her yesterday, but the other two times it was dark and I thought someone was tampering with the doors, maybe trying to break in. This was not so intense, but when I went to Lake Erie Metropark, since that’s not far from last night’s earthquake, I didn’t stand too close to the shoreline in case it rumbled and a the shoreline moved and I fell into Lake Erie. I don’t know how to swim!

One hurricane is lessening a little.

We have a stormy week/weekend (maybe weekend too).

I will send you pictures and directions – hopefully it turns out. I have found two different recipes and one is using Pillsbury crescent roll dough and one is Pillsbury biscuit dough. I have been studying the Facebook Crock Pot Sites – although yesterday they changed Facebook’s interface … it is as bad as your experience with WordPress. I don’t like the new Facebook. Now whether it is because I’m viewing it on Windows 7, I don’t know, but I find it big and stretched out, hard to see. So this is the recipe – I don’t want to send you the link as it has ads that will both you – this is a YouTube video (it’s long but gives step-by-step which is good for me) … the recipe link is below that. I will try a few other dinners first:

I am more of a crispy crust pizza lover, so I’ve seen the crescent roll recipe too. The video made it look easy – I need easy. 🙂 It will be later this year when I have gotten used to the slow cooker and am more comfortable with it – also when the weather turns bad, I think I’ll be using it more. Like now, I would not “start” a meal in the morning as I’d go out to walk. I have to tell you that I am not sure I want to leave the house with it on. I’d only use it when I was home.

That use to make me nervous too but they are very safely made today compared to when they first came out. I don’t think I have ever heard of a house catching fire from one. My Ninja slow cooker actually shuts itself off after the time I set is finished.

OK, I feel better about that then – I figured I’d only use it on weekends and if it rained or snowed and I did not go out walking. Next weekend I will open it up, wash it and christen it. I went out both days as it was good weather, albeit it sickening hot.

Well, I have to admit that the heat really did me in this past weekend – it was hot for a long trek like I did both days. The worst was two weeks ago when I went to Crosswinds Marsh and it was crowded on the wooden overlooks over the marsh so I went to the woods to hike around there … I got lost bigtime. I was so hot and glad to plop down in the car and rejuvenate with the A/C and I had no A/C. I had to drive home (35-40 minutes, temps close to 90) with no A/C.
