Zucchini was always something that was bought and thrown away after it went bad in the fridge. I would think of it weeks later and go to get it and my fingers would break the skin. It would be rotten all the way through. I never knew what to do with them. I didn't even know zucchini was a squash. These two are huge and will be my food for the next week.
Zucchini is a vegetable I eat just about daily now. I use it in my smoothie's, green spoups, raw pastas and as a cover for veggie wraps. You could also call them spring rolls. I am working on one now and can't wait to figure out the finishing touches.
