Hello again friends and food lovers. Welcome to another Yummy Recipe Thursday. I tried to get this posted yesterday but time just wasn’t on my side so he we are. Today I have a great recipe for the upcoming 4th of July holiday. These Grilled Garlic Parmesan Zucchini are quite amazing and also a really good way to get your kids to eat their veggies. This is another pretty straight-forward recipe so there’s not much else to say about this one. Chances are that you’re already going to have that grill fired up on the 4th of July so why not try something new and delicious to go along with whatever protein you’re grilling. I promise you won’t be disappointed. As always, feel free to leave comments below and be sure to follow @RecipeBlogger on Twitter, if you aren’t already, so you don’t miss a single new post.

Grilled Garlic Parmesan Zucchini

• 3 Zucchini
• 3 Tbsp Butter, softened
• 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
• 1/2 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
2. Cut the zucchini in half crosswise, then slice each half into 3 slices lengthwise making 6 slices per zucchini.
3. Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley together in a bowl; spread the mixture onto both sides of each zucchini slice.
4. Sprinkle one side of each zucchini slice with Parmesan cheese and place the slices, cheese sides up, crosswise on the preheated grill to keep them from falling through.
5. Grill the zucchini until the cheese has melted and the slices are cooked through and show grill marks, about 8 minutes.

Yummy Recipe Wednesday! (Slow Cooker Pulled Pork)

Hello again friends and food lovers. Welcome to another Yummy Recipe Wednesday. I apologize for not having any new recipes posted for the past month but I’ve had some personal things come up and have been unable to give any attention to the blog. Things should be back on track now so I should have recipes weekly again going forward. On that note, today I bring you an amazing pulled pork recipe. This recipe is great if you’re someone who likes pulled pork but you don’t have a smoker. You can make this right in your slow cooker and it’s easily as good as pulled pork made in a smoker. You can serve this pulled pork on buns for your classic pulled pork sandwich, serve it on tortillas for some awesome pulled pork tacos, or even mix it in with some lettuce and other salad toppings for a tasty pulled pork salad. However you serve it, I guarantee no one will go home hungry. Give this a try at your upcoming 4th of July holiday party, or whatever event you have going on, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
