I was blessed with a basket of zucchini last week. This is always a wonderful month
for receiving all sorts of produce from my gardening family and friends.
So, if you can stand another recipe or two...
First I grated up a few of the zucchinis, if you have a mandolin for this
it makes life much easier this time of year.
On the web I found a recipe for:
Mom's Zucchini Bread
www.http://allrecipes.com/recipe/6698/moms-zucchini-bread/
I substituted half a cup of apple sauce for half a cup of oil and
it still came out nice and moist.
It makes two generous loaves one for now and one to freeze.
I also, for the first time, made zucchini fritters and they will be making a repeat showing.
I served them on top of a roasted tomato slice sprinkled more
parmesan cheese and drizzled balsamic syrup over.
This recipe came out of a cookbook named simply:

3 1/2 cups grated zucchini
2/3 cup parmesan cheese
2 eggs beaten
4 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour
vegetable oil for frying
salt and pepper
Squeeze the grated zucchini in a towel to get any excess water out, then combine with
the parmesan, flour, salt and pepper and eggs.
Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large frying pan. Add 2 tablespoons of the mixture
for each fritter and cook for two to three minutes each side until golden, drain on paper towels.
