This recipe for Zucchini with Sour Cream Sauce is perfect! It is tangy and sweet and very figure friendly. The sauce alone can also be used on chicken or fish. You won’t regret giving this one a try! Especially if you have leftover sour cream that you need to use up.
WOW! The amount of zucchini that is growing in every ones garden is amazing! As you all know (or if you are new here, take note lol) I do NOT garden! So my garden isn’t doing much of anything but growing weeds 🙂 I do however have some awesome friends that love to share their harvest with me. Gosh, I love them! We have been given so many fresh zucchini this year, and we have to get creative using it. I love a good Zucchini Bread, almost as much as I love a simple sauted zucchini with butter and garlic. Sometimes you just want something a bit lighter and easier on the waist line.

Honestly, this looks perfect. I’ve done Zucchini lasagna and love Zucchini Bread the most. No friendly harvest…have to get at the store.
Mmmm Zucchini lasagna!That sounds great. Might have to try that sometime. The picky teens wouldn’t eat it but thats ok, more for me!
OMG this looks amazing! I love veggie anything. I have to try this as a side dish. My daughter is a vegetarian and she will flip over it! Thanks much for sharing!
I hope you do! She will love it, I have even just added chicken (obviously not for your daughter) to it and had a full one pot meal.
Wow, this was absolutely the best, we grow a lot of zucchini so I’m always looking for new recipes to try, this one is my favorite , I followed the recipe exactly , would also be great to add any protein ( meat etc.) to it
