Invasion of the Zucchini


not a single posting in july...appalling. i hope to get back on track this month.

harvesting has begun with the zucchini. my 2 plants are thriving and producing no less than 6 squash per week. our hot dry spell (100+ deg for 5 straight days) during late july kicked them into high gear. i typically freeze shredded zucchini in 2-cup quantities for use in bread, muffins, etc.

i've also been searching around for inventive recipes to use the squash in. came across this chocolate zucchini bread recipe...to die for! **note: i substituted applesauce for the oil 1:1 and used wheat flour instead.
