These Parmesan Zucchini Fries are my favorite way to eat zucchini. Slightly more healthy than eating a french fry and just as delicious! They are dusted with panko and Parmesan and then fried to crispy perfection! So good. We have been making this recipes for years, its a household favorite. (more…)

Tomato is undeniably a healthy food. Not only it is rich in vitamins C and A, It also contains a large amount of lycopene, a chemical substance that gives the red colour to vegetable and fruit. Lycopene has the properties of an antioxidant, which prevents heart disease and various cancers. Nevertheless, the tomato still has a little secret. Cooked or processed tomatoes are actually more healthy than fresh tomatoes. Why? Research by Cornell University suggests that cooking the tomato, increases the amount of lycopene, and makes the substance easier for the body to absorb [1].
