It's easier for me to grow zucchini than cucumbers, and I have a pickle-loving family. Although, with a baby due in January, the equivalent of your July, that may be harder this year!Emmahttp://lotsofhelpers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-31495486389824483472014-08-20T18:10:21.548-04:002014-08-20T18:10:21.548-04:00Someone recently suggested a zucchini recipe that ...Someone recently suggested a zucchini recipe that I have been wanting to try: slice zucchini lengthwise, fill with fried ground beef mixed with rice, salsa and spices of choice, and bake until tender. Top with cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted. Spaghetti squash works too.

It turned out tasty, but didn't really have a pineapple flavor to it. It tasted more like apples to me. I am going to use them in a pineapple casserole recipe I have that has toasted butter crackers on top of it. If you ever have the ingredients, you should try it.Nicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-66841208348778587812014-08-20T06:24:43.786-04:002014-08-20T06:24:43.786-04:00These look good!

If you slice it pretty thin the long way, it's about the same shape and thickness of the noodle then layer it with meat, sauce, and cheese as normal. It doesn't taste quite the same, of course, but if you bake it long enough to get the "noodles" tender, it is very enjoyable. This is great especially if you're trying to avoid wheat/gluten.<br /><br />I enjoy your posts even though I rarely comment. :)<br />- Karen Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-11956173821760624392014-08-20T01:46:58.169-04:002014-08-20T01:46:58.169-04:00I find your blog very inspirational...as a stay at...I find your blog very inspirational...as a stay at home mum, I sometimes need to know and see that how others cope and succeed in making and maintaining a happy home.

I also grate it sometimes for later use in things- I put it as part of meat loaf, salmon loaf, spaghetti sauce, and soup. These things help the meal to stretch a bit further.

We got some, but it wasn't enough to give away or make pickles. We really enjoyed your cheesy zucchini bites and zucchini pie! I did grate some zucchini into hamburger/turkeyburgers. I read somewhere that you can cut zucchini into chunks and soak in pineapple juice and use in recipes calling for pineapple. I never have just the juice sitting around to find out if it works.
