Too Much Zucchini?

Maybe I'm the only one who had their zucchini plants explode this year! It seems like I couldn't keep up with the overwhleming amount coming off my vines each week. This summer, I froze over 40 cups of zucchini, that will be long gone by next spring! To freeze zucchini to use in recipe's, cut, remove seeds, and shred. Put in freezer bags. It's that easy!

Asside from Zucchini Bread, try these other yummy ideas to use up that shredded zucchini!

* Add 1 cup to your hamberger/turkey meat for burgers on the grill.
* Add 1 cup to your next meat loaf mixture
* Add 1 cup to the next batch of brownies you make
* Add 1 cup to your speghetti sauce
* Add 1 cup to your choclate cake batter
* Add 1 cup to your pancake batter
* Add to your cookie dough
* Add 1 cup to your muffin dough
* Add to any soup
* Add 1/2 cup to your pizza dough, or sprinkle over the top of your pizza


The sky really is the limit with shredded zucchini! If it's shredded small, it's less detectable by your children. And with it having virtually no flavor, it can be added to just about anything, and you have instant vitamins added.
