Zucchini Recipes
So what to do with all this zucchini?? Here are a couple ideas from Foodland Ontario:
There was a woman who grew the world’s largest zucchini. She wanted to take it to a friend to show it off. The zucchini was so huge, it stuck out the car window and she couldn’t lock the car. Stopping at the General Store for a few things on the way, she returned to her car to find something awful had happened while she was in the store… someone had left her the world’s second largest zucchini too!
There’s your zucchini joke for the day! You’ve probably heard one or two before (there are many), inspired by the over-abundance of zucchini in many people’s gardens. So what to do with all this zucchini?? Here are a couple ideas from Foodland Ontario:
