OK, girls, every year I plant too many zucchini, and swear "Never again" but I only planted 20 seeds this year, I swear! Actually only 12 zucchini seeds, I have 5 hills of four plants each, but one hill is yellow squash and the other is delicata squash. The harvest has started to come in, and it is going to be a bountiful one! I am already up to my ears in squash.
So, I am looking for something different and unusual! No zucchini bread, chocolate cake, or saute with spaghetti sauce or pasta, or casserole with corn or carrots or chicken, or ratatouille or a variation. I have about a million of those recipes.
Anyone have something out of the ordinary? See my blog for pictures of the first prize - a vintage table runner with old creamer and sugar bowls. The second prize is a vintage apron.

Brenda, sorry that your father is ill, I will put him and you in my prayers. When you have time and your father is better, then you can deal with the prizes.

I really picked poor timing for this contest, I am afraid. Today's the first chance I've had to get on the computer for several days. My father went into intensive care last week, he's still struggling with amiodarone toxicity in his lungs that he had the problem with in February - he has an oxygen mask, can't feed himself in hospital due to rotator cuff problems so my whole family has been rotating schedules at the hospital. The doctor told me yesterday it is 50-50 whether he is going to get better or worse, which will require the ventilator again, which is probably going to just really discourage my 76-year-old dad. To top it off my in-laws were in town for a wedding and I ended up hostessing an impromptu gathering yesterday for 20 people. I promise to get the prizes out this week, I want to starch the aprons before sending (the vintage aprons were made of a lightweight fabric) and sadly this has not been my highest priority.

Oh, dear, I'm in a pickLe! I did enjoy the stuffed zucchini too, and that is what I was thinking when I picked your name, but I also loved the variations of the chips.
So I'm going to award an additional prize - tied for second place, the chips by Lisa Marie and the stuffed zuchinis by 1badmamawolf. I have two vintage aprons so I will send each of you one.

Girls I am so sorry that I delayed announcing the winner of this contest, life got in the way.
I recently had knee surgery and between recovering and just struggling to get around, cook dinner and keep up with all the stuff coming up ripe in my garden (zucchini, cucumbers, beets, lettuce, sweet corn not to mention the wild arugula and hairy galinsogas, a heavy load at work, and a new grandson, I just wasn't able to give the attention to the contest that I had anticipated.
So, enough with the excuses! Who won?
I announced on my blog! Could Serene bean and 1badmamawolf please contact me to claim their prizes?

Last night I made a zucchini calzone. mmm. I know your contest is over, but if you are still looking for something different to do with them...
Make pizza dough. Divide into 6-8 balls, roll each out into a thin disk.
Saute' zucchini, onion, oregano, garlic. When tender, toss in a handful of chopped fresh basil and tomato.
Place filling on one half of disk, top with some shredded cheese/cottage cheese/your favorite cheese.
Stretch the other half over the top to cover, crimp edges.
Bake on greased sheet 15 min. at 425.
We make a difference. |

I left a Garden Kosher Dill Pickle Recipe on your blog. It uses zucchini, yellow crooked neck squash, pickle cucumbers, green beans, onions, garlic and cayenne pepper. I enjoyed looking through all the other recipe. I am so glad that there are other ways to use it. I have plenty on my farm also! I am new at MJC and I am really enjoying it.

just added squash-stuffed chicken and zucchini enchiladas to your contest! i havn't tried either of these myself yet (though i have made the chili cream sauce that goes on top of the enchiladas... it was delicious!) but i am excited to try them myself when my zucchini harvest comes through! but i thought i'd post them because they were both different and sound great! let me know if you try them and how you like them!

My favorite is zuc patties. Shred a few with a small onion, salt, pepper, a squosh of sugar, and egg and some flour to make a nice batter. Get your skillet nice and hot with a little oil and fry them til nice and golden and crispy. Man, they are so good. The grands like them, too. You can also use squash or mix the two together.

My favorite thing to do is to shred it, and cook in a saucepan with a little onion, corn, cilantro, and lots of butter. Not the healthiest, but mmm

I have a recipe for zucchini-cinnamon squares. Fooled the family forever with that one. They all thought it was apple crisp! I will dig out the recipe and try posting on your blog in the morning. My kitchen is a shambles at the moment - I'm remodeling ;)
