Zucchini Cakes

We never plant zucchinis in our vegetable garden because we usually get plenty from our neighbors.

They are always more than happy to share!

I have recipes for zucchini cake and zucchini muffins that my family loves.  

We like to eat them raw with ranch dressing or in a salad.  

Sometimes I slice them and saute them in

a little butter and olive oil with a few thinly sliced onions.  Delicious with some fresh parmesan

cheese sprinkled over the top.  

I'm always on the lookout for new summer squash recipes so when

I found this on Pinterest, I decided to give it a try.  Although I did 

tweak it just a little.
