The Hulk Sized Zucchini

next to a summer squash for size comparison,
and it isn't a little summer squash!

My friend brought this ginormous zucchini over wondering what to do with it - zucchini bread was the obvious thought but then realized it's waaaaaay bigger than just zucchini bread. It's so big we made a few things with it...

We cut it in half and made one huge zucchini boat (I rubbed olive oil, salt and pepper on the skin and placed it in a very large roasting pan; then made 2 boxes of cornbread stuffing to fill the boat; baked at 375' for an hour - big enough to serve 4 people!)

lemon zest and juice in the batter,
then spooned lemon glaze onto
warm loaves. Smells SO good!

Using the shredding disc on my food processor (had to get the manual out to figure out how to use the disc!) I shredded the other half - it made 9 cups!  Ended up making 2 loaves of glazed lemon zucchini bread, chunky garden vegetable sauce, and put 3 bags (2 cups each) in the freezer. That's a lot of zucchini!

I freeze a lot of things this way - portion out and fill
 bags, flatten, then stick a straw in the top and suck out
as much air as possible to make it air tight.
