So the one zucchini plant I put in the garden is seriously on steroids. Being one that hates to waste, I have been trying to use it. I have basically been baking as much zucchini bread as I can. I will be trying to distribute it soon.
Here is the recipe:
Zucchini Bread
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups shredded zucchini
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
Sift flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder together. Mix eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, crushed pineapple, walnuts and zucchini together. Mix in dry ingredients. Grease and flour two loaf pans. Pour batter into pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. Check with toothpick to see if done.
Here is another recipe I use. It's for Poorman's Crab Cakes. It doesn't taste like a crab cake, but it's really yummy. And fairly healthy. Nate actually liked it, which is rare!
Poorman's Crab Cakes
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste.
Combine ingredients and shape into cakes. Fry in a skillet until golden brown.

I didn't plant zucchini (for exactly that reason) but keep getting more than I can use in my farm box, so I'm going to try those recipes this weekend -- thanks Nicki!
I made the Poorman's Crab Cakes last night, and they were delicious! My veggie-hating husband ate two.
Terry gave me two this weekend. He said to cut them the long way, brush italian dressing on them and grill. They are huge! I'm not sure what kind of steroids he gave to those zucchini plants. :)
I did it on the grill tonight with Italian dressing. It was yummy!
