I received a free packet of organic “round French zucchini” seeds in one of my seed orders this spring.

I like zucchini. Jeff likes zucchini. Thomas likes zucchini. My neighbors like zucchini.

I planted six zucchini plants; it seemed a reasonable number. All of you experienced gardeners or farmers know where I am going with this…

I am about to be buried under an avalanche of round zucchini balls! Help!

I have made zucchini bread, calzone, fajitas, and zucchini enchilladas. I froze eight cups of shredded zucchini this week. And I don’t think that we are anywhere near “peak zucchini”.

If you have good recipes for cooking and/or preserving zucchini please post them in the comments or email them to me. And if you live nearby and and are a fan, stop by and fresh zucchini will be yours. Here’s this weeks menu featuring the ubiquitous squash.

Thursday:

• Quesadillas with refried bean dip
• We were too tired and busy for the farmer’s market. We’ll go to the Saturday one instead

Friday:

• Layered vegetable enchilladas

Saturday:

• Veggie burgers
• Roasted Potatoes

Sunday:

• Falafel (I am going to shred some zucchini and put it in the falafel as well)

Monday:

• I haven’t planned anything specific.  We might go to the beach, we might go on a hike, who knows?

Tuesday:

• Stuffed pasta shells with marinara sauce

Wednesday:

• Thanksgiving in September!  I have been craving Thanksgiving food (it is my favorite holiday) so why not have it now?
• Quinoa stuffed zucchini
• Mashed potatoes
• Steamed green beans
• Biscuits
• Cherry crisp
