Random Zucchini thoughts....


I have so many other recipes I want to get to so we will with this say a fond farewell to the noble zucchini. Just a couple of extra ideas.... first remember those baggies I grated and put in our freezer to use through the year? I have gone through most of them. Where have they gone? I have snuck them in spaghetti sauce, lasagna, soup, taco meat, stir fry, the list goes on and on. If your kids fight you on eating veggies.....sneak it past them :) Another idea we tried was for zucchini cobbler. I cannot say we loved it. I have been blessed with a kid that eats anything. I decided we will save the cobbler for delicious fruit. IF you ARE trying to get your kids to eat veggies it did taste remarkably like apple cobbler. If you live nearby you can even come over and try it. We have PLENTY left over. The idea of the day if from Our Best Bites. Have you checked them out? They are a great tutorial site. They come up with the most wonderful fresh ideas and walk you through them. This week they posted grilled stuffed zucchini. YUMMY. Click HERE for that great one. Come back tomorrow for Keaton's bread recipe. It is a great no knead bread that is slightly sourdough, extra yum. The recipe is so easy he can mix it up himself in about 10 minutes.

  5. The really good news about zucchini is that a serving size has only 3 calories. It is also a good source of thiamin, niacin and pantothenic Acid, fiber, protein, vitamins A, C and B6, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese. Quite a lot of nutritional punch for this humble plant.
