I love this veggie dish. It's popping with spicy flavours, cushioned by slightly melted Queso Fresco cheese. Top it with cilantro for perfection. You can swap out the zucchini with any vegetable for a change-up. I've tried it with carrots, asparagus, peppers - all delicious!

To clean permanent marker (Sharpie) from any non porous surface (table, floor, sink..etc), you can buy a tiny little bottle (1/2 inch square glass jar) of Testors Thinner #1148 from any hobby shop. Not the bigger bottle, it's different! Dip a Q-tip into the bottle and rub it on the marker, then wipe off excess with a tissue!

Have an empty plastic water bottle? You can cut the plastic bottom down to size and propagate your choice of plant. I like this method because I'm able to see the roots grow and ensure it'll be successful instead of planting directly into soil.
