- 5 zucchinis squash , cut into 'noodles' using a spiral slicer or vegetable peeler

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, saute enough zucchini to fit in the skillet with 1 teaspoon garlic until zucchini is slightly browned and softened, 3 to 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining olive oil, zucchini, and garlic. Transfer cooked zucchini mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

My Big Fat Greek Omelet
If you're low-carbing it, try my spinach omelet with tomato and feta filling. If you thaw the spinach and squeeze it dry the night before, this omelet is very doable even for speedy weekday breakfasts.
Carol's Chicken Salad
My friend Carol is a wonderful cook, and this recipe is a '10.' By far the best chicken salad I have tasted.
Roasted Butternut Squash and Soy Chorizo Enchiladas
This is a tasty variation on enchiladas! My version is vegetarian with soy chorizo, but it could easily be switched out for regular chorizo or taco-seasoned ground beef. Save time and work by buying pre-cubed bags of butternut squash. This is a mildly spicy dish, so you can cool it down a little by topping with sliced avocado and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
