OMG! These look delish! I haven’t got any zucchini’s in the house at the moment otherwise I would whip them up now. Zucchini’s were a bit too expensive last week but I’ll definitely try this recipe when the price comes down. Pinned it on my Food Pinterest so I don’t lose the recipe. Off to look at some of your other recipes now.
Hi, Megan, thank you very much for your feedback. Sorry for delayed response. Oh, you can use sweet potato instead of zucchini this time. I will post more about this too. If you have any question, don’t hesitated to ask. Hope you have a wonderful day!
