Solid tip to take away from that one; grilling the zucchini.

My one gripe with zucchini lasagna has been that the zucchini ends up kind of "pickled" by the sauce.

Grilling it first would help counteract that!

Zucchini.
Come to my house.

Just a tip: I baked the zucchini for a few minutes on each side in the oven vs grill bc I don't have a grill pan.

I figured out the macros/calories per serving for anyone who is following that kind of thing...lemme know and I can post smile

I think you were just trying to fool us foreigners by not calling them by their proper name - courgettes! You were trying to keep this recipe secret from us, but we sussed it out!

Please post, I am definitely keeping track of daily intake & portion control.

Oh my goodness I was trying to do the same yank to brit translation myself earlier for these posts! But I couldn't remember if zucchini was courgette or aubergine.

I'm clearly too tired to think because I know they call aubergine eggplant which I think is by far the better name!

One of our favorite quick and easy summer meals is slices of the outside meaty portions (just toss the pithy seed core) as a crust substitute topped with pizza sauce and toppings. Can be done on the grill or in the oven. You actually want the giant overgrown ones for this. I like it even better than zucchini lasagna.

What a great idea! I will have to try this.

Sure. Just need to point out that I used reduced fat already shredded mozzarella cheese, (2cups). That was the only deviation from the recipe and this is based on the lasagna being 12 servings.

Calories: 212
Fat: 11.2
Carbs: 9.4
Protein: 23.5

ETA: also used part skim ricotta. Oops!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe how wonderful this lasagna was. I totally agree with you that this is better than any lasagna made with pasta. It is so filling, but not the stuffed feeling I would get from the pasta variety. I added Portobello Mushrooms to it as well and saut�ed them with the onion/garlic. I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow already. Thanks again for sharing.

The other low carb thing I like to have on hand during the summer are frozen burgers - I have been getting the turkey Bubba and also the angus - to throw on the grill.

Here is a paleo recipe for a bun but I have also eaten them plain (like a steak).

easy recipe: Sweet Potato Pancakes from Practical Paleo


prep time: 10 minutes
cook time: 20 minutes
yield: 4-6 pancakes (or more, depending on size)
Click here for estimated nutrition facts.

Ingredients
coconut oil to pan-fry in (amount will vary)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups shredded sweet potatoes (using a food processor with a shredding disc is ideal, or you can shred them by hand)

Preparation
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the coconut flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, and sea salt. Mix in the shredded sweet potatoes until well combined.

Add about 1/8 inch of coconut oil to a large cast iron or ceramic nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Spoon the mixture into the skillet in �cakes� that are 4-6 inches in diameter, and cook approximately 3-4 minutes per side until they hold together, flipping once as you would a regular pancake.
