Zucchini-palooza 1, 2, 3 and 4

It's been one heck of a summer. A crazy, turn-your-world-up-side-down summer. But in the midst of chaos, sometimes the most unexpected thing can bring a little order to the world. For me, it turned out to be my zucchini garden. Leave it to a green squash to be my link to normalcy...

Zucchini-palooza 2014 began with the first picking...
"The Dirty Dozen"

Zucchini-palooza #1
Cream of kohlrabi soup with onions, carrots, potatoes, and of course zucchini.
(Those green flecks are the zucchini)

Zucchini-palooza #2

Zucchini-Lemon Cookies 

Very light and refreshing. They lasted two days!

Zucchini-palooza #3

A clean-out-the-veggie bin concoction. 

Cherry tomatoes, 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 green pepper, a couple Japanese eggplants, onion, a half bag of frozen corn. Sauté the veggies. Add salt and Italian herbs to season. Add mozzarella and Parm and cook until melted. 

Zucchini-palooza #4 

What to do with all the shredded zucchini left over from making the lemon zucchini cookies? Make a stir fry with onion, cabbage, carrots and of course, zucchini. Stir fry the veggies until crisp tender, add a little soy sauce and there ya go!
