Simple Culinary Magic

Watched a little bit of Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone today. When it got to the part where they were enjoying their first meal at Hogwarts, Ron Weasly reached for some yummy looking chicken and I just about caved. Chicken was always my favorite meal, almost anyway you fix it. I love chicken. My husband is not Vegan so I have some chicken in my freezer. I kept thinking about all the yummy things I could do with that chicken. Who woulda thought Harry Potter could knock me off course? Well I knew I had to come up with some magic of my own if I was going to make it tonight. Then I remembered something. My wonderful neighbor brought me some zucchini out of her garden the other day. Mmmmm, I really like zucchini too. And there’s almost as many ways to make something yummy with zucchini as there is chicken. I decided I would need a yummy healthy desert too so I went out to my backyard and found some ripe figs. Here’s what I did:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Cut zucchini into thin strips.

Place in Pampered Chef Stoneware Baker

Brush with olive oil

Sprinkle with Vegan Grated Parmesan Flavor Cheese Alternative

And Pampered Chef Crushed Peppercorn & Garlic Rub

On the other side of the Baker

Cut stem off 2 figs and slice down the center

Pour a generous amount of Agave Nectar on fig halves

Sprinkle with Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend

Bake in oven for 20 minutes.

Take that Hogwarts Chefs. I’m still Vegan and I just enjoyed a really yummy healthy meal. I should have taken a picture of it to show you, but I was hungry!
