Today I’m blogging from Kansas… we just arrived and got the camper set up. What a long (but beautiful!!!) drive. I’ve made this simple Zucchini and Onions recipe twice so far along the way.

It’s so crazy simple to make… and is off the chain delicious! Zucchini season is in full effect right now, so they’re at just about every roadside vegetable stand we pass.
Here’s my little camper stove, I love the gas burners! I don’t have a gas stove at home and enjoy the instant heat.
I start out by sautéing my zucchini and onions in olive oil. Then after about 5 minutes I add a half cup of water and continue to cook until they’re the texture and consistency I like. That’s just how I like it! Not steamed or stewed until they’re “mushy”, but not crisp either.
Here’s a picture of Kansas I took along the way… I’ve never been able to see this far for miles and miles except for being offshore fishing!
This is how I like to prepare my zucchini and onions. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years!

I’m learning all kinds of ways to prepare zucchini this summer! I have been totally on a zucchini kick so I’m always happy to find something new that you can do with it. I’m pretty impressed with the fact that you’re cooking while on a road trip!
Thanks, Valerie! There have been so many zucchini recipes I’ve wanted to try. We’ve mostly cooked outside so it makes it a little easier! 🙂
