Woohoo way to go Onebyone, what fun to indulge yourself.
My zucchini crust test went ok. I tried using a casserole dish that was too round and too deep. It did make a pretty good base for the toppings but on its own needed more spices, like maybe an Italian mix.
I do have a quiche dish that matches my dishes and has never been used, I think it would be fine and about about time that I did something with it! For just the hubby and I, I think the quarter sheet pan would work pretty good. Probably use more zucchini and more parm, plus an extra egg. My huge zucchini was a bit over 4 cups grated, I was surprised by how much liquid squeezed out. I think about 2 normal large, or maybe 3 of my preferred size would be about right. The grating went ok even without a food processor.
Hubby and I are divided over the need for a food processor, he wants one/me not so much. We do have a blender that does some things. And then we have me, a knife, and a cutting board for other things. For the most part, I don't feel I chop up enough stuff to be worth it, I don't want it on the counter, and I don't want to drag it in/out of a cabinet. It is nice that in this house we do have enough room for one, both on the counter or under the cabinet.
