    A delicious veggie side dish with Zucchini and Corn made in a skillet. Healthy and Delicious at the same time!
     
    Zucchini with Corn

    Not too long ago I was looking for a nice veggie-based side dish to go with my Confetti Salmon Steaks. I already had a bunch of fresh vegetables so I decided to make this Zucchini with Corn Skillet.

    The beauty of these types of recipes is that you can easily substitute one ingredient for another. Don't like onions? Lose them or replace them with another veggie.

    Personally, I really like this combination. It paired very well with my Salmon steaks but certain it would make a nice veggie side dish for just about any type of meat.

    Zucchini with Corn

    I must admit that I don't cook very often with Zucchini, so this Zucchini with Corn Skillet was a new experience for me. What I mean by that is that growing up on the east coast of Canada, we were more of a meat and potatoes kind of family.

    I don't even remember if my parents ever tried to feed me Zucchini. I'm sure it was available to us but I don't think it was part of our recipe routines. I do remember that Cabbage, wax beans, and a few other fresh vegetables would occasionally make an appearance but not zucchini.

    Fast forward to today and Zucchini appears on my dinner table at least once a week. Whether it's in a salad, a casserole or just a simple side dish like this recipe, I make an effort to cook more with Zucchini. Don't believe me? Check out my Delightful Walnut Raisin Zucchini Loaf or my Baked Chicken Zucchini Spaghetti Casserole.

      It is fun to play with food but it is no fun to make sure that kids eat the food you experimented on 🙁
