When I received a few homegrown summer squash and zucchini from our neighbors, I knew I wanted to find new and creative ways of incorporating them into our meals. We didn't have much time before the first night of VBS, so I started chopping vegetables before I had any clear idea of the direction I was going. When the sausage came to mind, everything fell into place.
This meal is simple, but so fresh and delicious. I can't wait to have it again soon!

Hi Melanie,
ReplyDeleteSausage and zucchini go so well together-this recipe sounds like a great one.

It is my absolute favorite way to prepare zucchini-and even my veggie-hesitant Allison gets excited when I make it.
Have a great day!
