Fresh Zucchini Recipes That Are Easy and Delicious
You are not alone if you have extra zucchini sitting on your counter. During the summer and early fall, it's easy to end up with more zucchini than you know what to do with. And zucchini is a vegetable you can use in both sweet and savory recipes, so I'm sharing my zucchini recipes that your kids will surely love (cause my kids devour them; that's why I say).
Zucchini adds moisture to baked goods without making them taste like vegetables. It also works well in crispy fritters and other easy side dishes. And if you're looking for a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a simple way to use up fresh garden zucchini, you'll find something here!
