Join us as Foodie Extravaganza explores Zucchini.......

Foodie Extravaganza is a fun little group that celebrates Food Holidays on the first Wednesday of each month.

This month our friend, Sue of Palatable Pastime, informed us that National Zucchini Day is coming up on August 8th and invited us to share a Zucchini recipe with our readers so they are ready to celebrate in style.

Here in Michigan we suffer from an over abundance of zucchini.  It takes over people's gardens and they have more than they could possibly ever use.  It is very rare for anyone that I know to actually pay for zucchini during the summertime.  People are literally begging you to take it off of their hands. Last week, a family donated 25 zucchini to our food pantry and promised me more for next week.

So what do we do with all this zucchini?  Well I use it in baked goods like this Lemon Zucchini Bundt Cake, Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes, Cheesy Zucchini Bread,  and these Fall Harvest Muffins.

I use them in savory applications like these Thai Zoodles, Zucchini Enchiladas, and this Roasted Veggie Lasagna.

I turn them into jam.  I add them to soups, like this Ham and Barley Soup and this Turkey Chili.  I mix them with Corn and Jalapenos for a delicious side dish. make Vegetarian Stir Fry for Meatless Monday and add them to Scallops for Fish Friday. 

And today, I am serving them up for breakfast in this wonderful casserole that is chock full of Greek flavors.

I made this casserole up in order to take it with us when we went on a small vacation to the west side of Michigan.  We stayed at a Family Resort called Double JJ Ranch and our suite contained a kitchen.  I brought breakfast and lunches for each day.  This casserole was one of the options my family had for breakfast.

I baked it up the day before we left and then rewarmed the servings in a microwave.  It was a huge hit, served along with Fresh Peach Muffins.  

I'm anxious to share my recipe but first let's take a look at what Zucchini Creations the others have made......
