Breaded Parmesan Zucchini Bites

For this weeks Five Ingredient Friday…Breaded Parmesan Zucchini & Eggplant Bites. Zucchini and Eggplant are in abundant supply at the farmers market, but I just so happened to have a small egg plant from my own garden that I wanted to use!! These little bites were quite good, next time though I’d serve them with a side of marinara sauce. I ate them with a grilled chicken breast and they were great as an accompaniment, but good as themselves too. This recipe is only very slightly modified from one I found from Ellie Krieger on the Food Network website (click here for original recipe, however, in the original recipe it says Zucchini Parmesan Crisps…I don’t know how why the word ‘crisps’ were used, they were soft with a nice coating).

    I want to make that this weekend when guests are coming. It looks and tastes delicious, especially also for vegetarians, as meat substitute

      Thank you for commenting! They would definitely make a delicious treat for vegetarians, the flavors and little zucchini bites would pair well with tomato sauce as a dipping sauce, or on top of pasta,…in could be made to be ‘zucchini Parmesan’ instead of eggplant Parmesan! Hope it turns out!

I forgot where I read it, but it was something abo I forgot where I read it, but it was something about 'normalizing normal/slightly ugly/normal kitchens' and that resonated with me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we moved into our house, my original thought was "I absolutely love the house, but maybe we'll redo the kitchen in 5 years to be all white" 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why though? Because everyone else is doing that and it's 'cool'?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After having lived in our house for 6+ months, now the most I have dreams of doing is maybe to redo the laminate countertops that are peeling in some places. Maybe. One day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this isn't some before/after post. It's just a post about saying your kitchen/home is fine the way it is, and if you don't have some pinterest board or desire to change your entire kitchen, that's a-ok.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE looking at beautiful kitchens and spaces, so I'll just continue adding pretty images to my weekly love-lists and leaving it there - for looking at pretty things vs. wishing to change my house or feeling bad about my kitchen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personally, I love my house. It feels homey and welcoming, and that's the vibe I'm going to keep going with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weekly love list on the blog, not kitchen related, but you can read it with a cup of coffee from whatever kitchen you’re in 👉🏻 https://sweetphi.com/love-list-29/
