We are overrun with zukes at our house, that must mean it is summer, although summer arrived so so so late this year it is in September. Anyway, I am always looking for things to do with all the zucchini that people give us. In fact, I don't bother growing it we are gifted so much. So here are two more uses for it:
1. Shred it for taco toppings - we all loved it on our tacos instead of lettuce!
2. Make this amazing Zucchini and Walnut Bread. I made the bread and it turned out perfect the first time. The second time I made cupcakes with it and they were just as yummy, and I can throw one in a kid's lunch! The recipe came from Relish Magazine; they featured a new cookbook out called The Feast Nearby. I am on the wait list for it at the library and will let you know what I think.

When I was home, we made a recipe out of Clean Eating mag that had zukes cut in half lengthwise and the seeds scooped out to make "boats." You fill them with a somewhat precooked mix of mushroom, garlic, bread crumbs, and such, then throw the "boats" in the oven for a bit to finish cooking. I'll have to try to find the recipe, but I'm guessing you can kinda wing something.
What a great idea to use as sub for lettuce on tacos. Going to give it a try!
