What do these two things have in common? Absolutely nothing ha ha.
My daughters newest obsession is a show on Netflix called Riverdale. It is like a modern day version of the Archie comics. She loved the comics so she was excited to watch the show. It did not disappoint!
She loved the show so much she wanted me to see it too. So now she is rewatching the episodes with me so I can watch them all. We have gotten through the first 4 episodes this week. Tonight since it's not a school night and we can stay up later she wants to watched three episodes... But we will have to see how many we can get to.
It's pretty good am am enjoying watching it with her although it isn't something I would watch on my own. There are 13 episodes to the first season. Season two is coming out soon and she is very excited.
My sister gave me a large zucchini. I am trying to make as many recipes as I can with it before it goes bad. I made a Vegetarian Zucchini Lasagna this week and a few days ago I made Carrot Apple Zucchini bread.
I still have a lot of zucchini left. I think my next recipe will be some cupcakes made with it. After that it might have to be thrown out what is left as cut up in my fridge I do not know how long it will last.

That does make sense. I saw a friend on Facebook holding a picture of a zucchini her son grew that was even larger then mine. I would say it was about 3 feet long. The one I had is about 2 feet long. If I decide to grow zucchini myself in the future I will remember your advice!

I am glad I wrote this post since I have learned something new that will be helpful to me if I ever grow my own. I shredded what I had left and froze it in bags of a half cup and a cup for recipes I will be making once I get all the ingredients I need.

I have a few recipes I have written down to try but do not have all the ingredients. Two are for cookies, one is for cupcakes and I cannot remember the others. I so badly wanted to make something sweet today but just didn't have enough ingredients for anything.

Never heard of this show. Might have to check it out.
As for Zucchini, I Love Zucchini so many different ways and really miss having a lot of it.

It seems like it is geared towards teenagers this show but both my daughter (who is a teen) and I liked it a lot.

Is Riverdale live action or animation?
It is possible to freeze zucchine for use in future lasagne.

@shaggin When I used it frozen in lasagne, I didn't thaw it first, and sprinkled it with the dried grated parmesan Kraft sells in the shaker tins. Worked out well for me.

I have froze Zucchini in the last lots of times and used in baking but I don't think it would work well for the lasagna. When frozen then thawed the zucchini gets very mushy. It makes carrot cake very moist when added to the batter but probably wouldn't work well for other dishes.

@BarBaraPrz this lasagna used the zucchini in place of the noodles is that how you mean when you did it with the frozen zucchini?

I have not watched Riverdale. I keep seeing the commercials for it but we watch another show during that time slot.
I love zukes! They are so versatile.

We watch Riverdale on Netflix. We watched all of season 1. Season 2 is out now but it's not on Netflix yet. My daughter watched it somewhere online. Once it comes on Netflix we will watch it together.

Glad your daughter found a show she likes and she wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy the rest of the goodies you want to make with your zucchini before it goes bad.

I just ate up the last of the Carrot Apple Zucchini Bread. I don't think I will have time to make anything tomorrow so maybe I better freeze it before it goes bad. I could at least use the thawed zucchini in baking cupcakes etc so it won't get wasted.

Yum I love zucchini especially fresh grown from the garden. Zucchini is so versatile and I hope you find other things to do with it and not have to throw any of it out.

I didn't have enough ingredients in my house to many any more things with it so I shredded the zucchini and put it in baggies in the freezer to make things with the next few weeks. Today I made apple muffins which was pretty much the only thing I had ingredients for and I got to use 3 apples from my tree.

I did not see this comment until now but shredding it and freezing it was what I did today. I had a bunch of recipes I wanted to use it in but not enough ingredients to make anything. I shredded the amounts I would need for the recipes I will be making and then I froze the amount in separate baggies and put it all in one larger one in the freezer.

I have never watched that show. I have made zucchini bread in the past when I had lots of zucchini.

I will have to check out that show. I used to be a big fan of Archie comic books. Just don't know if I can see it online here in Latvia. Zucchini is delicious.

I think I read a few of the comics when I was young but wasnt very interested in them. I do like the Riverdale show though!

Same here. I cant wait to see what happens next season. While we are waiting we are going to start another series my daughter has picked out. I can't think of the name of the show though.
