Never liked zucchini except chocolate zucchini bread

I do like zucchini bread. Zucchini is better with bacon, everything is better with bacon. Grilled asparagus wrapped in bacon is yummy too.

@appps Here's another dish that uses quite a bit of zucchini and a couple of eggs. It doesn't have a name, we just refer to it that "Egg thing", but I suppose you can call it a "Zucchini and egg bake/quiche" or something.


1lb zucchini - grated and cooked
1/2 cup greenbeans, chopped and cooked (optional but very nice)
1 tin creamed sweetcorn
150 ml self-raise flour
5 large eggs
5 ounces cheddar/gouda cheese - grated
Salt and pepper
1 tbs thyme, or mixed herbs, but thyme is best
Set oven to 350' F

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly, pour into a shallow (± 3 inch deep) oven proof dish and bake approx 1 hour or until cooked.

To test, stick a knife/cake tester into the middle of the dish, if comes out almost clean, turn the oven off and leave the dish in for another 15 minutes or so.

The lovely thing about this dish is that it can be made with previously frozen zucchini as well as fresh. When we have a glut in summer I grate a few pounds at a time and freeze it in 1lb packets. Then when I make this dish in winter I cook the zucchini from frozen, drain the extra water and add it still warm to the rest of the ingredients.

You can play around with this dish and add things like garlic, onions, bacon bits (@LittleLakePhil

) etc.

Yes it was peanut brittle.......

Yay, peanut brittle! How was it Phil?

Did she make it with just peanuts or was it the one with the mixture of nuts?

That sounds good Sumi, and a good way to use extra zuc and eggs

A friend made some Seed Brittle - made with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and pine nuts. Some thing else too, but I can't remember what. It was good.

Sounds tasty, but I can't have seeds or any nuts

or popcorn I really miss the popcorn.

I was going to get busy in the kitchen today but I better wait, it's just not a good idea this morning.

We buy certain things in bulk and store them in large glass jars with tight lids. I just filled the grit jar with rice. Oh boy. Guess the chickens will be enjoying it mixed in with their feed off & on for a while.

Hope the rest of you have better luck in the kitchen today!
