Sat-Sizzling Summer Squash Recipes


Is zucchini coming out of your years, appearing on your porch & filling your refrigerator? It is mine. With only one plant I thought they would be few & far between. Everyone else overplanted however. It's Unamerican to refuse a zucchini offer, kind of like apple pie. Have you tried mock zucchini/apple pie? It's an idea.
