Sauteed Zucchini, Peppers, and Tomatoes
This dish is quick to prepare, but you can reduce the time even more by cutting the vegetables a day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container, and proceed when the rest of the meal is almost ready.

My family looooved this recipe. I also added onions, a bit of dried thyme, and red pepper for added flavor. It's an easy recipe but very fulfilling for dinner.
This recipe is easy, fast, and anything but boring. I used plum, not grape, tomatoes and substituted seasoning -- McCormick's Italian Herb Grinder was perfect here -- for the pepper. A side dish enthusiastically received.
