Ok I'll admit it...I am a picky eater!  Nothing on my plate can touch, if I'm eating steak my corn on the cob has to be on a seperate plate...I don't like veggies...and if I could I would just eat chocolate all day...YUMM!  But...last night I decided to try something my family was eating that for 26 years I've looked at and gone that looks NARSTY....they all tear into like it's going out of season...so I tried with a wince and a cringe...Fried Zucchini...and AHHHHH....it was DELICIOSO/ AWESOME/and YUMMY all put together.  What have I been missing out on the past 26 years of my life!!???  It was like the best tasting thing since sliced bread..and I was fighting the rest of my family for pieces...now I am on ww..so that was a BAD IDEA...so I guess I should go work out a little longer today..but..I looked up some healthy recipes for it on ww in case anyone wanted to try what I'm going to try!  Also..this wknd is our county fair, and I know my mom loves to get their fried veggies so I'm just gonna sneak one and make sure I park VERY FAR away so that I walk off all that fat...but here's the recipe's...
