Ways with Zucchini ~ Tales from Sassy Cat's Garden

By now, most of you know that poor Sassy Cat has been overwhelmed with zucchini.  No one would believe how many zucchini I have cut from three plants.  Dozens.  Around 75.  *sigh*

Here are a few ways Sassy has prepared zucchini.  Zucchini refrigerator pickles are delicious on hamburgers or as an accompaniment to sandwiches or other main dishes.  I published the recipe last year.  HERE is the link.

Grilled zucchini are easy to prepare.  Melt a couple tablespoons of butter, add some Italian seasoning and a dash of hot pepper sauce to brush on zucchini as they grill.  Or you can use a bottled dressing, I suggest Zesty Italian.

Here I sauteed zucchini for a chicken tostada instead of using beans.  That did not go very well.  Skip past this photo....

The next plate: Cook two or three slices of bacon in small skillet, add thinly sliced zucchini along with chopped bell pepper and onion.  Saute until tender.  Season with black pepper and top with shredded cheese.  Serve alongside scrambled eggs.  This one is a winner!  Gotta love that smoky bacon flavor.

In this last effort, I tried to pretend the zucchini were fried potatoes.  I sauteed the zucchini with onions, broccoli, peas, mini bell pepper rings and corn.  Seasoned with garlic pepper seasoning.  Served with a bbq chicken thigh and grape tomatoes.  It was good, but by now I'm getting very, very tired of zucchini ... and wanting my potatoes!  Grrrrrrrr....

Today, I saw a stink bug on the zucchini plants, so I'm guessing zucchini season is almost over for me.  I cannot say that I am terribly disappointed.  hah!

What have you been doing with your zucchini?
