It’s been a pretty zucchini-light year.Between the crows, chipmunks, and a very chilly summer, I’ve barely had more than 5 from the garden.The first thing I always make is my zucchini chocolate chip bread, but after that, I make something savory.

At least I don’t have to pawn off any vegetables this year.The few precious zucchini that I have are staying close to my heart.And by heart, I mean frying pan.
