At the time of year many gardeners have an abundance of zucchinis and start to wonder what on earth they can do with them all. I asked my fantastic followers on Facebook for their ideas and these are what they came up with:

• Made a meat and vege curry last night that included some thickly sliced zucchinis. Also love making zucchini slice and zucchini muffins:) – Karen
• If you grate the zucchini you can put it in just about anything. Bolognaise, lasagne, quiche, zucchini slice, sausage rolls, stir frys yum yum – Katrina
• Zucchini quiche is delicious 🙂  – Phoebe
• We make many jars of zucchini pickle/relish. Just chop up your zucch’s and pop in a pot with some spices, herbs, mustard seeds, sugar, vinegar and water… get to boiling and then simmer until it’s the consistency you like your relish to be 🙂 – Earth Angel Mumma
• In cooking – zucchini cake like carrot cake is always nice, also zucchini and pea fritters.  We made zucchini racers for my son’s 5th birthday recently – Leonie

 
Here is a great photo and details of Leonie’s zucchini racers. Don’t they look like fun for the kids?
 

• We used wood wheels and axles, decorated and painted them and ‘raced’ them down a ramp – Leonie

 
A favourite recipe in this house for using up excess zucchinis is to make choc-zucchini muffins. This is a recipe I found and adapted from the All Recipes webiste.
