Help! My counter has been overtaken by the zucchini...

This is the second summer that I have tried my hand at home gardening. It's still a live-and-learn experience, but I have to say that my (not always so very) green thumb and I have come a long ways from the tomato, bell pepper, and squash garden last year. I began my summer with onion, mustard greens, and radishes. My lettuce just recently went "to seed" and yes, it only took one bite for me to completely understand what that phrase means! yuck!! My tomatoes are thriving along with cucumber, bell pepper, corn, butternut squash, and a sprawling watermelon plant. My focus right now, though is zucchini... wow! Again, I am pretty hands off except for the most obvious watering and fertilizing "work" of a garden, but I think that something was done right...

This is a picture from week 1 of "the zucchini", June 2011


Several weeks later, July 2011. Needless to say lesson #2 from this summer is: Never turn your back on a baby zucchini! 


This is just a collection of recipes focusing on using a zucchini in as many ways as possible. Mission: get it off my counter!!
