Hey reader!
One of my favorite parts of the summer is garden harvest time. When beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers drip from the vine, ready and waiting to be plucked, prepared, and devoured. Nothing, though, is more versatile than zucchini. (Rhubarb, eat your heart out!)
From sweet and tender muffins, to swirly twirly noodles, zucchini proves it can be prepared and enjoyed in a variety of ways. Raid your garden (or help a friend out and raid theirs!) and put summer's zucchini bounty to good use in any of these scrumptious recipes featuring this versatile super squash!
