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! :-)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
