We woke up to thunder, lightning and much needed rain this morning. Hoping it will cool things back down a bit. Who knows? We can only hope.
The knockout roses are loaded again for the third round of blooms. Deadheading and duck water paid off.
With lots of zucchini and squash I have been experimenting. Here are a couple successes I would recommend.
This is an excellent zucchini recipe! You make a crust almost of shredded zucchini and cheeses and bake. Then add aground beef topping and cheese. Changes I made was to use pizza sauce instead of just tomato sauce. I added mushrooms, garlic, oregano and basil. Then on top of the burger I added pepperoni before topping with Italian cheese. OMG my husband loved it. It was like a zucchini crusted pizza. This is definitely a keeper for us. I might even freeze some shredded zucchini to make this in the winter.
I love snack cakes. This is a simple cream cheese frosted zucchini snack cake. An 8X8 pan and 30 minutes in the oven and a small and simple dessert. The only thing I changed was to add about a cup of chopped pecans. Simple and moist and delicious. This is a keeper too and a great option when the zucchini has filled up the kitchen counters.
If you guys try them let me know what you think!

Your roses are beautiful! Thank you for the zucchini recipes. That first one with the ground beef sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipes, I am going to try both of them this week. I shred & freeze our extra zucchini so I have plenty of bags in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI freeze shredded zucchini also.
DeleteWould it be okay if I share these recipes with my sis-n-law, she also has a plethora of zucchini .
ReplyDeleteYour roses are beautiful.
I think my husband would also really like these recipes and he doesn't like zucchini.
So.....maybe I won't tell him they have zucchini in them, I owe him one anyway and it won't taste like green gooseberries either. :)
Feel free to share as I provide a link to the origin of both recipes. Neither are mine but ones I have modified or tried and liked.
