Default Good thing I defrosted the freezer...

I found way too many packages of shredded zucchini. I can't believe I
froze that many! So I'd appreciate any wheatless ideas on how to use
them up. Not realizing how many I had, I've mainly been using them in
meat loaves. They'd be good in soup, too, I think, but we don't eat
much hot soup in the summer.


Try draining the zucchini well and make a fritata or quiche.
Use it as a base instead of spaghetti for meat sauce or for chili.
I make lots of zucchini bread, but you said wheatless....


Ah ha... great ideas! If not for you, I would probably not have put the
two together--- eggs and zucchini that is. I often have a little omelet
in the AM. I'm thinking the drained zucchini would go well in that
too... a little parmesan maybe with a little chile pepper. Yum.

I used to make a lot of zucchini bread and that's pretty much how I got
used to using the frozen zucchini. I've only recently (and grudgingly)
started wheatless baking and it is much more difficult to achieve a
decent result sans gluten. However, I just ordered a highly recommended
baking mix and I'm looking for a zucchini bread recipe using that mix.
Meanwhile, our zucchini plants are growing by leaps and bounds... lol.
I'm determined to use up what I have frozen before I start freezing more!

Thanks again to you and the others.
