Zucchini and Blossoms

I went to the farmer's market today and picked up some zucchini blossoms. I had never seen them before and was really fascinated! The man selling them admitted that he had never tried them but said they are edible. I looked up recipes and found lots that involved deep frying and cheese, so I decided just to saute them instead. It worked out well for a light dinner paired with an actual zucchini!

I've eaten a zucchini for dinner ever day this week, it's just so easy and works well as either a pasta-type base or a salad base. Every sauce I've thought of so far (from roasted tomato to peanut to garlic) has worked well.
