🌼Courgette Slice

 It’s the weekend again.  We are having such lovely weather at the end of this best-ever summer.  The leaves are starting to fall, autumn is starting to show it’s face.

While my husband is in the garden sorting out the leaves, I have been inside, not cooking, but using my new computer! This new whizz bang computer promises to make my food blogging so much easier.

Let’s hang on to summer recipes for a little bit longer. If you are looking for a something healthy and easy for lunch or dinner, this is the recipe for you. Serve with salad or on it’s own.  It can be eaten warm or cold.

For a vegetarian option, eliminate the bacon.
