Zucchini Tots

Zucchini Tots
The original name for these was Zucchini Bites, which was okay. But when these were baking, they smelled just like tater tots.

Zucchini Bites yields: 12 mini muffins 1 cups zucchini, grated 1 egg (1 large egg equals 3-4 tbsp when whisked together) 1/4 yellow onion, diced 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work the best) 1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian style Salt and Pepper 1.

Roasted Beet Salad with Barley, Feta, and Red Onion Beet salad! Yum! Though this one could have just as easily been called "Barley Salad with Beets, Feta, and Red Onion." Or "Beet and Feta Salad with..." Ok, you get the idea. The real point is that with these basic ingredients, you get all the chewiness, crunchiness, earthiness, saltiness and piquant-ness that you could ever want in a salad. Inspired by one we saw at a local coffee shop, we see many summer picnics in this salad's future! Feel free to play with the proportions of each ingredient.

Roasted Beet Salad with Barley, Feta, and Red OnionMakes about 5 cups Heat the oven to 450-degrees. Loosely wrap the beets in tin foil and roast in the oven until they are just fork tender--30 - 45 minutes. Meanwhile, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Drain the red onion. Combine barley, beets, red onion, feta, and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Taste the mixture.
