Zucchini-fest!

Another great (or not so great) thing about the CSA, depending on how you look at it--zucchini, zucchini, zucchini.  This versatile veggie has been included in almost every week’s assortment.  Luckily, I like zucchini.  Still, I had to come up with some creative ways to eat these suckers up.  Here are a few dishes I've tried this season:
Zucchini and Tofu Quesadilla, with Tomatillo (also from CSA!) Salsa

Zucchini Patties, stacked Napolean style with ricotta and tomatos from you guessed it!

Zucchini and Tomato Tart (any idea where the tomatos and corn came from?)

Zucchini Chocolate Cake (note to self: cake should be sweet. please don't skimp on the sugar next time )

Sweet Zucchini Bread from the Joy of Cooking (6 loaves worth so far, chocolate chips = nice touch!)

Great ideas!!! That's cool that your CSA has veggies like tomatillo. The last time I made a tomatillo salsa I charred the tomatillos. It was yummy. I love your zuke/chocolate bread! :)
