Skillet Sausage and Zucchini (Serves 4)

 So we are turning a new leaf around here and trying to eat healthier FINALLY. Sometimes it takes a major nudge in the behind to get you going but we are there and hopefully we will stick with it. Last night, I made this dish and my entire family loved it! Even my pickiest eater ate a full plate of it AND salad (she normally hates salad). That gave me the boost to keep going. Now I've given myself a new challenge...get that girl to eat what she never dreamed she would. Two of my kids said "you cook the best healthy stuff, mommy." This meal is easy, even for the cook that doesn't like being in the kitchen. Easy to prepare, easy to cook and extra bonus, even easier to clean up! I LOVE one pan meals...
