It is just that time of year when harvest season is upon us. So why not make good use of your harvest! The nice thing about zucchini – you cab grate it and make 1 cup servings and freeze them. As you need zucchini, pull the serving sizes out of the freezer, thaw! So simple.

Bless you for offering a new recipe for zucchini! My crop is so out of control that yesterday, I dressed one in a coffee filter "baby bonnet", painted on a face, and left it on my neighbor's doorstep with a note that read "Please take care of my little one, his name is Zach". Desperate times.... I'm making these cookies today!!
