Zucchini
When you plant more than one zucchini plant, you need to be prepared to have more zucchini than you can eat. So, what can you do when you have so much zucchini that you can't even give it all away?Today I'm going to try to find out how many different ways I can utilize zucchini, and I will be posting successful recipes in the coming week.
Here are some of my ideas for utilizing that abundance of zucchini.
- Shred up the zucchini as if you were going to put it into a bread recipe. Then pre-measure it into 2 or 3 cup servings and place in quart-sized ziploc bags and freeze to bake with all winter long.
- Play ding-dong ditch with zuchinni for a variety of neighbors. If you'd like, put a bow on them. Now it's not your worry anymore!
- Scour the internet for unusual zucchini recipes
- Bake lots of zucchini bread. Make mini loaves or mini muffins, then freeze those. Great for snacks when school starts for the kids!
What are some of your most creative uses for zucchini??
It's great cooked down and added to marinara sauce (puree first if you have picky eaters and use it to thicken the sauce). I also like to add it to quiche and casseroles for a nutrient boost.
