Zucchini Season

Zucchini season has started. My zucchini plant has blooms on it but no zucchini at this time. My husband brought home an oversize one from work on Thursday. I wanted to make Zucchini-Carrot Cake (recipe in older post) so I decided to buy one more at the Farmer's Market this morning to make sure I had enough. I also bought two small ones to put on the grill with the bratwurst I had laid out for supper. 

I ended up with more than enough zucchini for the cake. I ended up on a zucchini baking marathon this afternoon. I ended up making 2 loaves of double chocolate zucchini bead (new recipe if we like it I will share it on the blog), zucchini brownies and a zucchini-carrot cake. We also had plenty left over for the grill this evening. We had the brownies for supper tonight (appreciated and enjoyed by all). The zucchini-carrot cake is for the potluck at church tomorrow. One loaf of bread is on the counter for breakfast tomorrow morning and the other is in the freezer for future use.

I know about people passing on the urban legend about people locking their cars at night so the neighbor does not "share" his excess zucchini with them. I personally welcome the zucchini. They are such versatile vegetables that can be made into so many things. I am excited that zucchini season has arrived! Bring them on!
