Fun With Food – Stuffed Zucchini

Posted on September 8, 2009, under Dinner, Food, Lunch.

A friend recently asked me what I do with oversized zucchini.  This first idea that came to mind was stuffed zucchini.  It is healthy and delicious.  I just happened to have a few oversized zukes.. so I decided to take my own advice :-)   The whole family just seems to slurp them up…

What you do is cut your big zucchini in half and then quarter.  Scoop or cut the middle out of it.  Set them on a greased cookie sheet.  In a skillet, fry hamburger, onion & garlic until browned.  Add crushed tomatoes, oregano & basil, cooking down until thick (20-30 minutes… just boiling out some of the excess water).  Load the meat sauce into the zucchini and bake @ 350 degrees until zucchini is cooked.   Serve with grated chedder :-)

Fun With Food : Zucchini Cakes

Posted on August 25, 2009, under Dinner, Food, Lunch.

With an abundant garden comes loads of zucchini.  This time of year we have just about zucchini everything!  It is delicious…  I just have to be creative with it… otherwise, the natives might become restless.. lol.. (ie. – complain about dinner..lol)  This summer I have had a new card up my sleeve – Zucchini Cakes.  I have made them twice.  These little cakes are a HUGE hit.  I fry them in a skillet of olive oil, just like a pancake.  Here is the recipe :-)

3 c. Grated Zucchini

1/2  Grated Onion

1/2 c. Parmesan Cheese

1/2 c. Flour

2 Eggs

Salt & Pepper To Taste :-)

Mix all ingredients in mixing bowl.  Fry in skillet like you would pancakes.. ENJOY!
