Never at a loss for words, Dolly adds:

I'm pleased that you're adding this recipe to your great library! My cousin gave me this recipe about 25 years ago, and I make it during the summer months when zucchini is plentiful (also a few times during the winter, too). We have a small garden with tomatoes, zucchini, squash and some herbs. I'm glad I found you on the internet; so many good recipes. I love to cook. I'm from an Italian background and cook lots of Italian dishes.

I grew up in MA about a mile from the beach and I still love the ocean. My children are grown and married and I'm a very proud "Nana" to 4 grandsons! I'm retired now and love the retirement life. We travel often and are now planning a trip to Italy. Keep sharing all those good recipes and I'll do my part, too. Meanwhile, we'll be taking our grandchildren on field trips to the beach, Boston aquarium, Swanboats at the Public Garden, Museum of Science and lots of picnics in between!

Thanks.

"Absolutely delicious"
From: zucchini lover
I loved them, they were absolutely delicious.
Thanks so much for sharing that recipe with us.
The only suggestion I have is to cut down the salt
when using pepperoni just a bit.
Great recipe, thanks again.

Gour-den Delights
Using gardening as part of a homeschooling curriculum
by Blythe Pelham
As an artist I'm very much a create-as-I-go kinda gal. Our children have been homeschooled since birth, though since I think of life as learning it often seems silly to me to label what we do as schooling. One method I frequently use in guiding/teaching involves doing something I enjoy and pulling the children into the activity along with me. One such passion for me is gardening. Our current gardening project took us in many directions from which learning can 'grow' from a garden! Our gourds have seeded projects in music, history, art, science, marketing, and more. Take a look at what we've done and tell us what you're doing!

Jane's Kielbasa Jambalaya
This is a recipe from Jane Smith who is a homeschooling mom with a Bachelor of Science in Education specializing in Comprehensive Social Studies and an interest in gifted children. She also loves to cook and offers up her own unique quick 'n easy jambalaya recipe which marries Polish Kielbasa along with the "Cajun trinity" of celery, onion and garlic. We think that the newlyweds will have a good marriage on your table. It's easy to make and fun to eat!!

Beef Barley Veggie Soup
This stew combines the flavor of onions, bay leaves and thyme with a wonderful classic "stick-to-your-ribs" combination of beef and barley. This stew can be served the same day it is prepared or put into the freezer for a great tasting dinner when you are in a hurry. Either way I'm sure you'll find this delicious!

Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a Mediterranean dish with a French name, most often associated with Provence, but with definite an Italian influence. A stew of tomatoes, eggplant, and squash, with endless variations, this dish gets its distinctive flavor from the slow cooking. Serve as a vegetable or a sauce for pasta.
