Yesterday I had an impromptu Girls’ Night with Cara and Kristin. We ate outside, went in the pool and walked for ice cream. A perfect summer evening.
To accompany the plethora of leftover pulled pork, Cara brought a zucchini from her garden to make fries. I almost died when I saw the zucchini! It’s huge! She claims it’s organic but I’m suspicious…
Either way the fries were great and I still have half of the zucchini. Since Cara has even more in her garden I decided to check out Cooking Light‘s list of 75 zucchini recipes for ideas of what to do with it. Here are my top picks:
- Garden Harvest Cake
- Summer Squash Soup with Pasta and Parmesan
- Zucchini Oven Chips
- Summer Squash Ricotta Galette
- Garden-Style Lasagna
- Zucchini Lemon Muffins
- Pasta with Zucchini and Toasted Almonds
- Double-Squash Basmati Gratin
- Zucchini-Pecan Flaxseed Bread
I think I’ll start with the Zucchini Lemon muffins and the Summer Squash Soup with Pasta (I’ll probably throw in some shrimp so Danny will eat it).
