Mine is similar to this one but I use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon...

Thank you for the recipes - one other question - Do you use the seeds? I usually take them out and only use flesh. I beginning to wonder if that is why I loosing moisture. Any opinions?

Thanks for your time and for sharing all the recipes

I usually pick my zuch a little on the small side so I don't have to worry about the seeds!

Mix a chocolate or spice cake according to box directions. Add 2 cups shredded zuccini. Bake in two loaf pans and tell everyone it's bread.

We have only taken out seeds once it is a big zucchini from my sister-in-laws garden and it had seeds the size of pumpkin seeds!

Otherwise, we pick the zucchini, rinse it, cut the ends off and grate away!

Think I'll go ahead and use seeds - I too pick as small as I can but sometimes there is that baseball bat that seems to hide and you suddenly see it and wonder how in the heck did that get there!

So need to get in the kitchen this weekend (unfortunately have to work full time - only weekends/evenings to do canning and baking) and do some damage baking and canning have a ton of stuff that needs attention: jalapenos, pepperoncini, plum, peach, nectarine jams, pickled onions (our new favorite). I'm exhausted (in a good way) just thinking about it.

Happy cooking and again thank you for sharing!
