Emily's Zucchini Tots - Awesome!



Recommended Posts

Thank you to all those that reference Emily Bites and Skinny Taste. Never heard of either of those until I jumped on these boards. They have scads of the easiest most delicious sounding recipes. Tonight I took a gander at making Emily's Zucchini Tots. So super duper easy, very low carb and takes no time to make. And guess what? I think they are absolutely delish! Zucchini isn't my favorite veggie (unless it's breaded, fried and served with a side of ranch!), but these are pretty darn tasty. The only thing I did differently from the recipe was to put them under the broiler for a few minutes to really brown them up.

Just thought I'd put my two cents in, just in case anyone was curious but hasn't taken the chance on making them. :-)

I never knew I like zucchini until I found recipes on those two sites. Just pinned a recipe for zucchini spaghetti.

I make them and freeze them and put them in the toaster oven to crisp them up for lunches. My new fav is the enchalida cups............have made 2 batches of them, and they are also good from the freezer and put in the toaster oven to get them crispy. Happy cooking

Thanks for that...I wasn't sure if they were freezer friendly. Because I had 2 zucchini's not knowing how many I would need to get a cup, I ended up with 24 zucchini tots. I had 3 tonight with my 3oz of pork but unless I want to eat these for Breakfast lunch and dinner for the next 7 days I better give them away or something. So I'm going to bag some right now and chuck them in the freezer. I also have a toaster oven that I use heavily (being single it's faster than the oven) so I figured I could just warm them in there...good to know that works too! Thanks again! And I'm staying away from the enchilada cups for now because of the phyllo cups (I'm low carbing it) but I love Mexican foods and when I get a little closer to goal you better believe I'll be making those! SkinnyTaste has a recipe for chicken enchilada zucchini boats. Might give that a try in the meantime...they look awfully delicious! Ahhhh, so many recipes, so little time! :-)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
