While I was away on vacation, my husband took care of my garden. He did a wonderful job. He likes things big…very big. So I came home to 2 zucchini weighing a combined total of over 10 pounds! This zucchini will need to be grated, with the seeds removed (they will gave gotten too hard)….

Zucchini Casserole – Exploring Mom’s Recipe Box #2
Zucchini, mushrooms, tomato puree, and cheese – it’s a winning combination. This looked worth trying. I don’t know whose recipe this was, the recipe, like most, was in my mom’s handwriting, but she usually put a name on top. I have some guesses, I remember eating this (and not because my mom ever actually made…
Eggplant and Zucchini Antipasti
Our condo association held a social last week. Since it was going to be right outside our patio, of course we would attend, but what would we bring? I decided to reach into the techniques I use to prep eggplant and zucchini for my Persian cooking and make some antipasti. To add some color I…
Zucchini Quesadillas
Last week, my husband called me to say he was at the Lloyd Farmers Market and did I need anything? I needed a zucchini, so I asked him to buy 1 medium-sized zucchini. I wish I had taken a picture, because he came home with 3 large zucchini. They weren’t as big as the huge zucchini,…
Zucchini Pizza Casserole
I am sticking this on my blog again. I made this for dinner tonight and Cameron, who has become very picky recently, LOVED it and demanded seconds! That has not happened in a very long time. And I am tickled that it was with a zucchini-based dish. I used ground turkey this time and it…
Rye Zucchini Sourdough Bread
It’s that time again. Zucchini time! Zucchini bread time! Only this time, there is a twist. I found a recipe that adds zucchini to my current obsession – sourdough bread. This version adds in rye flour. The result… A fairly perfect bread – crisp outside and soft, chewy inside. And it all starts with some…
Quajado
Our Spanish Passover continues… Lauren is home, so we needed a vegetarian dinner option and opted for a Quajado, an egg, cheese and vegetable dish. For tonight, we used zucchini, feta and cheddar. The combination was simply delicious. Salty, rich and slightly sweet. To complete the dinner we added a Spanish spinach dish with pine…
Minestrone for an Autumn Day
I went to one of our local farm stores and found this… It’s a crookneck squash, and it is gigantic! It is about the size of 3 or 4 butternut squashes! So you will likely be seeing this, or parts of it, a few times over the next few weeks. This recipe used just 1/2 of…
Beef and Zucchini Chili
My super producing zucchini plant was destroyed in a summer storm, so I have been buying my zucchini from a variety of local farmers. The zucchini in this dish was from 2 different farms in Kent and Sussex Counties. They may not be my zucchini, but they are GOOD zucchini. School is back in session,…
Andalusian Gazpacho & Catalan Vegetable Paella
Tonight’s dinner brought me back to my trip with my daughters to Barcelona last November. Or, should I say, MAKING tonight’s dinner brought me back to our cooking class in Barcelona. I even used the recipe for gazpacho that Emily made that night. But tonight we served it in glasses. As our main meal I…
