RAWWWRRRRRR!!! 5.3 pounds of mega-zucchini stomped out of the garden this morning. These puppies are as big as my arm! There weren’t even any zucchinis out there six days ago and now…

Big zukes aren’t good to eat, but do the rabbits like them? My parents live in S CA on semi-rural land and they take their fruit and vegetable kitchen scraps to the same place every evening and the wildlife, mostly rabbits, eat them. There are even wild rabbits who wait there for my dad to bring the scraps 🙂
That would be pretty adorable…
At my house, the big ones like that get stuffed and baked.
Online I’ve seen some good lookin’ zucchinis stuffed with cheese and pepperoni. Mmmm…
Yes they do grow fast so sometimes you’ve got to check every other day Lol. I prefer my zucchini to be bigger, they taste great pan fried with salt n pepper and parm cheese, or baked into zucchinni chips or grated into cakes, bread, cupcakes/muffins, cookies or pasta sauce (it will thicken up the sauce without changing the flavor plus your getting another veggie, or I slice them lengthwise with a cheese slicer and use them as noodles in a lasagne. So to anyone who says big zucchini aren’t good just hasn’t been creative enough to use them.
Whoops! Lol. I haven’t grown zucchinis in a couple years so I forgot how they like to hide at the base of the plant and get humongous. 🙂
Tis the season! Happy summer, my friend!
Ah, happy summer to you too! I’ve been watching your garden closely to see what you’ve been harvesting. 😉
I love when they get that big! Perfect for zucchini bread, just scoop out the seeds first.
Good thinkin’!

Yum! Thanks for the link.
Zucchini is also good as a slaw. Just shred and use the same cole slaw sauce! YUM.

Oh. My. Gawrsh. Genius! I love coleslaw and I have been anxiously awaiting cabbage to use, but now I’ll just use my zucchinis! Thanks!
I make my slaw from broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. It doesn’t wilt as easily. But I’ll have to try that with zucchini!
I like broccoli slaw too… any kind of slaw really.
That is what mine look like..lol
They are so sneaky aren’t they?!
