Calling All Zucchini Recipes

The Clarimore Zucchini, Persian Cucumbers and some of the tomatoes are starting to roll in in vast quantities, so Cindy is pulling out all the recipes she can find that use zucchini, tomatoes or cucumbers.

She's sliced, she's diced, she's sauted, she even grilled some 3 inch slices of the Clarimore zucchini (they were delicious).  Zucchini bread, zucchini quiche, zucchini cream pie, cold tomato and potato soup, cold zucchini soup, cold cucumber soup.   She's made pesto from the basil and we've eaten so much Swiss Chard I'm starting to turn green.

Zucchini Slice
It's really wonderful to have so much fresh produce;  NOTHING tastes as good as a tomato fresh off the vine.

The other day we had sliced zucchini and cucumbers for lunch.  Cindy made a dipping sauce with chunks of bacon that made it just that much better.

If this is a plot to get me to eat vegetables, it's working very well.
