What to do with all the zucchini!?

I'm super excited that we're starting to get some produce from our little garden! So far we been able to enjoy green peppers, jalapeno peppers, and lots of yellow squash and zucchini! I found a recipe for zucchini brownies and made a few changes for my diet. Next I want to try these Zucchini Fritters!

Zucchini Brownies 
2 c. GF flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. canola oil
1/4 c. applesauce
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. shredded zucchini

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x13 inch baking pan. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt.


Stir in oil, applesauce and vanilla. The batter will still be pretty dry but once you add the zucchini it will moisten up.


Stir in the shredded zucchini.


Smile at a cute chubby kid.


Pour into greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Dig in! You are eating a vegetable after all!


I'd love to hear if you have any other great zucchini recipes!

No new updates really since I last posted. We're just working on being wheat free for another 4-6 weeks then I'll try adding egg back into my diet. Sawyer has been doing great now that we've been back off wheat for a couple weeks. It took a good week for the blood in his stool to completely clear up but we seem to be back on track now!
