Zucchini Galore

Tweet

My son's garden took off this year and there is an abundant of zucchini, tomatoes (all types), yellow squash, peppers, bell peppers, cucumber and more. He has given away a lot of it and yet, it's so plentiful, we can't keep up. According to foodprint.org, zucchini and other squash are native to the Americas. Seeds as far back as 10,000 years were found in Mexican caves. The original word squash came from the Narragansett nation who called it askutasquash. Spaniards took it back to Europe calling it calabacitas. Italians called the larger zucca and the smaller as zucchini. The largest zucchini on record was 64 1/2 pounds. In length, 8 feet 3.3 inches. I began making fried zucchini, zucchini poppers, zucchini patties, zucchini soups, tomato and herb zucchini, zucchini muffins and a cake. I froze so many and eaten so much, I'm zucchini done. For now. My son is allowing a few to get huge for seeds. I began another batch for bread and my son asked why don't I make a cake using the new silicon Bundt pan. It turned out so good. He made a Swerve frosting for the top to keep it with less sugar. I attached the photo. The hardest part of zucchini is grating and pressing the water out. Do you have a garden and it's overgrowing?
