The original recipe I was making was called Baked Zucchini, but I didn't follow the directions right so I have to call it Cheesy Zucchini instead. :-P
Here's the recipe:
2 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 Tbsp and 1 tsp olive oil
1 teaspoon (rounded) dried oregano
3 Tbsp parmesan cheese
The directions said to put the zucchini slices, olive oil, & oregano into a bowl (I was using a Ziploc baggie) to mix together, then put in a single layer on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. What did I do instead? Just threw everything together into the bag and shook it up. Well, apparently when you mix Parmesan cheese with olive oil, it just clumps together and doesn't spread around very well.
So what did I do? After spreading out the clumped parmesan cheese as best as I could and laying the zucchini slices on the cookie sheet, I sprinkled more cheese on them. Just to make sure it was all even of course. And yes, they were very yummy! James & Tim both liked them. James even signed "more" this evening when he saw the out on the counter, & ate 3 more slices!
Usually I split whatever I make for dinner into 4 servings, 2 for dinner and 2 for lunch the next day, but sadly there is no more zucchini for lunch tomorrow. James & I finished it off. Depending on how things go after swim lessons tomorrow morning, I'm going to try to go to the local farmer's market to see if I can get some more zucchini!

Oh, I forgot to say, bake the zucchini for 35 minutes at 350*, until the cheese is golden brown. :-)
Sounds yummy! And I love that James signed "more" when he saw some later. :)
