Grilled Zucchini and Chard Pesto Roll Ups
This is a story about a girl who was a picky eater growing up. If it didn’t have chocolate on it, she didn’t want to try it. Anything green just wasn’t going to hit her plate. She loved to eat cookie dough, and BBQ chips. No, not together. But they were two of her favorite things to eat. The worst part was she ate like a bird. Here mom, just couldn’t get her to eat much of anything. There was no way Grilled Zucchini and Chard Pesto would get anywhere near her lips.

Each zucchini should make about 8 or 9 slices using your slicer. So make as many as you need.

She is me. Thank you everyone for making me want to try food that I never would have even considered in the past. Blogging about food started out as a means to keep me in line with my weight. But it has become more than that now.
It’s now a passion of mine to try new dishes. A new assortment of fruits and veggies and International cuisine that I would not have considered just 5 years ago.
I still love to eat cookie dough but I don’t make it a habit. (Unfortunately)
These grilled zucchini make excellent appetizers at any party. They are cute enough to get your kids to eat them too. Unless you have one like I was when I was a little girl.
There is hope for them, Don’t give up on them. We all realize at some point the goodness in greens and the treat in sweets.
Thanks for stopping by and have a green day.
