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.
