The Zucchini 100!

Our garden is being immensely prolific with regard to zucchini production. The entire bottom of the fridge is full of them! This calls for radical action, hence the institution of the Zucchini 100!

For the next 100 days, or until the zucchini run out, we are eating recipes incorporating zucchini. So far, we've had a zucchini laden spaghetti sauce and a stir-fry heavy on the zucchini. Today for dinner, we had curried zucchini pancakes with chutney yogurt sauce. They were delish!

How did we train for the Zucchini 100? We scoured the cookbooks for zucchini recipes! From our immense collection, we found 23 books with interesting zucchini dishes. Now we have over 150 choices for the zucchini.

Did I mention that all of these zucchini are from just two plants that were planted mid spring? The !!!6!!! plants that went into the ground in late spring are just starting to flower! Will the zucchini ever end???

So, if you know of any fantastic zucchini recipes, zap them our way!
