Zucchini and Rosemary Frittata with Parmesan
This delicious dish makes about four servings and is perfect if you’re looking to expand your Zucchini recipe knowledge beyond the go-to Zucchini bread.
#welovethisrecipe
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
4 large eggs
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 ounces Parmesan, grated
Preparation
One of our employees receives Zucchinis in her mailbox from her neighbors who grow them in their garden.
She decided to try out this delicious looking recipe and took some pictures along the way!
1. Preheat the oven to broil.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add garlic, cook for 1 minute. Do not allow garlic to brown, or it will turn bitter. Add the sliced zucchini.
Cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring continuously. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and cook, just until the eggs begin to set, about 3 minutes.
4. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Place pan under the broiler for 3 minutes or until the frittata rises slightly and becomes light and settled. The eggs should not be runny. Transfer to a serving plate, cut into pie-shaped wedges, and enjoy!
Why Volunteer
Why volunteer?
Because it’s awesome and Meals on Wheels need people like you!
Meals on Wheels People has 500 volunteers every weekday that are committed to the mission that no senior will go hungry or experience social isolation.
Why do we have so many volunteers and continually have more that sign up? Because volunteering has a crazy amount of benefits!
When you volunteer you are able to connect with people who are passionate about the same social issues as you. You get to meet cool new people who like the same things you like and this connection has a way of developing into a friendship.
Volunteering can be a ton of fun with family and friends! You already have a bond with them and now you get to share the experience of volunteering at a local organization. You get to be a part of that conversation that starts, “Remember that time when we volunteered with Meals on Wheels and…”
Depending on which department you’re volunteering with there are mental and physical benefits to volunteering.
Volunteering can create a sense of satisfaction when you realize that you are helping your community. Overall you get that warm fuzzy feeling that you’re doing something positive for the community which will result in a boost of self-confidence knowing that you were there to help!
Did you know that helping kindles happiness? There have been many studies done that demonstrate how there was a boost in happiness with those who volunteered in comparison to those who have never volunteered.
Some physical health may be in the works for you as a volunteer. There can be some tasks that can help get you up and moving during your day.
Looking for a little variety on your resume? Volunteering not only helps you get experience in an area that interests you, but it also has the potential to lead to advancing your career. Volunteering develops skills such as teamwork, communication, planning, task management and much much more.
You know what you should do?

Then there's another family that had the bathtub full of newspapers. Oh my gosh, I don't know how they took a bath, if ever. And so, this home had newspapers from the top to the bottom. When we looked in the bath it was just alive with newspapers. So that's another thing that we had to report. We have found them dead, and here they are, on the floor or in the bed. And what do you do? And on the instructions to our volunteers, if there is a situation that you can't handle, call the office right away. Then the office will then get out the file and get in touch with the family. Don't go off. So that's the importance of a program like this.
