Yesterday evening, John picked some fresh zucchinis from our garden. This morning, I decided to make something different and the thought of breakfast, reminded me of pancakes. Hence, these savoury ones with a touch of spice and cheese. Prepared with yellow zucchinis that imparted its own beautiful colour to the pancakes. Simple, quick, delicious and satisfying. Fresh from garden to table in minutes.
Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that blends itself well when enhanced with other ingredients. Though mild in taste, the moisture content in zucchini is what makes it desirable and delectable to eat. Classified as a summer squash, the Italian word zucchini means "little squash". Also, in some parts of the world known by the French word "courgette". A delightful and refreshing vegetable to enjoy.

Protects against infections and diseases. The fiber content in zucchini helps to lower high cholesterol levels. Also, beneficial in reducing aching symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
