Zucchini fries and seasoned sour cream
08.25.2012 
Have you guys listened to the song Up With the Birds by Coldplay? I am a bit of a CP fanatic. Dan rolls his eyes at me any time I mention Coldplay. This song, though, it is really great. On my sad days, it uplifts me. On my happy days, it makes my smile a little bit bigger. I am listening to it now as Dan gives Sammy his first-ever shower (fairly certain it isn't going so well) and as I listen to the combine harvest corn a few feet from our dropzone trailer.
Elijah is spending the night with his auntie tonight, so Dan and I have had special time with our sweet Sammy. It has been fun! Elijah's medical needs combined with his flair for the dramatic sometimes causes us to focus on him. This time with our sweet Sammy is special to all of us.
The boys are back from their shower. It didn't go well, as suspected. Once Sammy is in bed Dan and I will prepare tonight's dinner, a frozen pizza. Don't judge! We're in a trailer! I'm wishing I had saved some of these zucchini fries that I made the other night.
First, prepare the zucchini fries. You can make the seasoned sour cream while the fries are baking. Or you can be healthy and use ketchup.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine:
1/2 cup skim milk
1 large egg
Whisk until combined.
In another small bowl, combine:
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Mix well.
Cut 2 large zucchinis into 3-inch by 1/2-inch strips.
Coat the zucchini strips with the milk-egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb-cheese mixture.
Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Serve with...
Seasoned sour cream!
In a medium bowl, combine:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
Stir until smooth.
Add:
Juice from 1/2 of a lemon
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Mix well. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
Serve with aforementioned zucchini fries. Or another vegetable. Or crackers.
..good things are coming our way... Yes, I'm still listening to CP. Enjoy the recipe and have a great day, friends!

This is the first I've seen your site....wonderful and the photos are gorgeous!
Now I have bookmarked this site and will visit often!
thanks!
One of the best recipe presentations I have seen. Kudos!
Oh, these look so good! I will definitely have to try them. By the way, I love to mix different herbs and spices into my sour cream to use as a dip... basil, dill, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, pepper, etc. No proportions, just whatever looks good. Yummmmmm! Now where are the chips?
wow, this recipe was phenomenal! even my son, who usually never eats vegetables, gobbled these up!
Beautiful presentation! I am making these today!
Making these for dinner tonight to go along with Easy Cheesy] Chicken (made in the crockpot)... can't wait to see how they turn out! Thanks for the recipe and the dipping sauce recipe too!
Nice crispy edge on those! Definitely takes zucchini to a new level! I always have an emergency frozen pizza waiting for those hectic nights. No judgement here! Except for listening to CP...
