Too much Zucchini...

What to do with to much Zucchini?


One Zucchini plant is enough Zucchini for a family of 6. Well, bought a pack of seeds. I planted 2 plants in our back yard. We have had a few Zucchini from them. However, we have another garden out in the country on some friends property. I planted the rest of the pack of seeds. All of the plants seemed to all come up and are doing amazing. Which means we are already sick of Zucchini. I have already given away a ton. We are going to have people hiding from us when we go to thier doors because they don't want any more Zuccini. So if you have this problem or maybe would just like some ideas for your Zuccini, here are a few recipes to help you out.
