All things zucchini

Dan's veggie garden has done quite well this summer. We've enjoyed lettuce, potatoes, cucumbers, a few bell peppers and a lot of zucchini. The tomatoes have yet to ripen... but in the mean time I have been asking everyone I know for inspiration with an abundance of zucchini. Here are a few ideas.

Zucchini bread, I've made chocolate zucchini bread, spiced zucchini bread and recently apple-coconut zucchini bread.

Fritters, both zucchini-feta-herb fritters and zucchini and corn fritters.

Muffins with grated zucchini and carrot.

Stir fry

Pasta bake

Ground beef tomato sauce with zucchini

Sliced zucchini baked w/ pesto and blue cheese

Shredded zucchini pie with potato and onion

Zucchini casserole w/ potato and onion

Josh down by the lake




Josh is such a character these days. He's Mr. On-the-Go. Photos do not capture the speed in which he can move. These photos are from down at the lakefront today at lunch. He had just eaten more then his share of Dan's curry.

2 boys, one shirt

Wearing the shirt from Auntie Alison


Shopping at its best


Dan and I got a number of smiles as we pushed the boys around the grocery store yesterday. Josh was busy being Mr. Busy 1 year old... while Ben... he decided he'd had enough.... we kept shopping... he had groceries all around him by the time we were done!
