It's zucchini season. Yup. That means there are zucchini aplenty, begging to be used.
I mean, a lot of zucchini.
So much zucchini, in fact, that a sane person doesn't dare to leave her or his car unlocked, for fear that the absent-minded fool will return to find the vehicle filled to the top with zucchini, unloaded by desperate farmers, trying to rid themselves of the smothering squash.
Meals around this part of the country necessarily require zucchini as an ingredient. Breakfast? Zucchini pancakes. Lunch? Grilled zucchini sandwiches, or zucchini slaw. Dinner? Try these Zucchini Cakes with Spicy Cream Sauce. Or, try this super-easy recipe:
