Atkins Diet Recipes Phase 1 Cooking: Zucchini Frittata

I have a sick obsession with zucchini. I'm not sure where it started, but I remember my mother always fried zucchini when I was a kid. Maybe eating it brings back fond memories, but regardless, it's an awesome vegetable.

This is one of my favorite recipes, and I thought I'd share it with you. It's really easy to make. You can eat it any time of the day.
