O my God, Thank You for blessing our garden with zucchini. We have eaten sautéed zucchini, zucchini salad, zucchini fritters, zucchini in spaghetti sauce and tacos and cake. OMG, is zucchini Your 21st-century version of manna?

You can grate zucchini and freeze it in two- or three-cup packages. Then pull some out of the freezer to use in cooking or in breads all winter long. 🙂 Well, you can freeze it if you don’t want to gift your neighbors, friends, and even enemies with your zucchini bounty. LOL!
Kim,
Fortunately, this year’s overproduction has not been as overwhelming as others. One year, I seriously considered carrying excess zucchinis in my bag to church and slipping them into fellow members’ purses during prayer.
But God nixed that.
I tried freezing one year, but the result looked like green slushy, and I couldn’t bring myself to put it into anything. Any tips? And thanks for your comment!
T.R. discovered a wonderful recipe for chocolate zucchini bread a few weeks ago. It’s been a big hit! I like Kim’s freezer idea – we have a pile of zucchini yet that will likely be shredded and frozen. 🙂

Mmmm, Angie, that sounds like my kind of solution! Will have to talk T.R. out of his secret recipe!
Thanks for your comment, and I hope you’re enjoying the smell of baking chocolate zucchini bread, as we speak!
Shhhh…don’t share this with anyone else. My secret is I replace the normal cocoa powder with Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder.

I wouldn’t THINK of sharing it with anyone else, T.R. Trust me!
I wonder if the Israelites made chocolate manna cake?
