I’ve mentioned previously how disappointing the zucchini crop was this year, but Cloris recently found a huge zucchini hiding under a tomato plant when she went to pull the dead plants in her garden. She scooped out the seeds, grated the zucchini, and froze it in two cup portions in plastic freezer bags to use for baking and in soups and spaghetti sauce over the winter. Here’s one of her yummy zucchini bread recipes. -- AP
