Guess what! We had zucchini for dinner! I know that you are shocked! By the time summer is over, I am going to be a zucchini expert. My husband told me to just pull up the plants, but I refused. That is for quitters and I'm no quitter! I am going to keep cooking zucchini until my plants aren't producing anymore. I'm sure my family will be THRILLED ! Seriously though? I have found SO many zucchini recipes that I really do just love. Zucchini is such a versatile vegetable! I am so glad that I tried my hand at growing it this summer. I will be planting it again, just maybe not 7 plants;P Anyway, this Zucchini Au Gratin really was fantastic, give it a try.
