Oh, do I ever. I will dig it out, but it will be after work, okay? Got a HUGE recipe file to dig thru...I got to find it anyhow, my zuchini are looking good! The cake is so moist and youd never know there were green stuff in it....used to feed it to my boys alot, when they were little and opposed to eating healthy veggies!

I've heard so many funny stories about zucchini and how people will try to get rid of it when it takes over their lives!

I'm afraid to can. I've just always frozen what we produce (which hasn't been a lot), but would love to expand and can if I weren't such a chicken!! Anyone have a fool-proof process that won't kill us???

I don't think you can can zucchini. It will get too soft. I think you can pickle it, however.

I batter dip and fry the flowers - it cuts down on fruit production and it's really delicious. The flowers have to be cooked within 4 hours of harvesting (which is why they are such a delicacy in French restaurants). I use a beer batter.
