He is I wish the show came on an hour later at 9:00. At 8:00 it's still light here and I have a lot to do outside, so I have missed it sometimes too.

I am trying not to "fry" food anymore so everything gets oven fried. Anytime I say Italian oven fried I dip the food(squash, zukes, or chicken) into an egg and milk mix then bread it with Italian seasoned bread crumbs. The food goes on a sprayed(Pam or equivalent) pan and baked.

Anything tastes good with Italian bread crumbs, lol. Now if I could just find whole wheat bread crumbs I could be healthier.

Lisa, why don't you buy a loaf of whole wheat bread and let it get a little hard and grate or grind it in the food processor for bread crumbs? Any leftover, you could probably freeze or keep in the fridge.

Where are you guys? Can't you DVR or VCR it and just watch it whenever you have the time?

Yeah I guess I could hand grate it. Thanks. I don't have many electric appliances because we are off grid. Let me tell you my arms are getting a big workout this summer from grating all my zucchini, lol.

YLisa we like those zuke patties fairly well here did you? Also in the past when I am over run with zuke I grate it then cook it until it is soft. Once cooked I put it on parchment lined cookie sheets in 1 cup piles then freeze it. Once it is frozen I will put them all in a ziplock freezer bag. Now I can make zuke pie all winter long taking out 1 "pile" letting it thaw then follow this recipe.

Zucchini Pie

1 cup grated zuke~ that has already been cooked down then frozen see above
1 cup Milnot
3/4 cup sugar
1 lg. Egg
1 t. Vanila
2 T. Melted butter
2 T. (heaping) Flour

Mix all ingredients into a blender then pour into an unbaked pie shell.
Bake 375º for 5 minutes turn down temp to 350º bake for 40 minutes.
Cool before cutting and store in the fridge~~we usually don't have leftovers.

Bet Mike won't even know zuke is in if ya don't tell him. Most people think it is a sugar cream pie type.

That is a terrific idea Jaxson. Thanks for sharing it!
Horray, work is picking up again. The last two weeks have been dead. Kinda scary--very few sales. But the last couple of days things are looking up. That's good news for making money but it also means less time here. Oh well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

Jaxson, what's milnot???

I have a recipe for a mean zuke bread that has pineapple and walnuts in it - it's almost more like cake than a bread. I just found it while resettling the kitchen the other day. If anyone wants it, let me know.

Thanks for asking that I was wondering the same thing, lol.

I would love the recipe. Please share.

Ok, the zucchini and carrot patties were pretty good. The zucchini brownies were just ok, and the zucchini muffins were a little dry. That's what happens when you try to do all healthy at the same time. I still like the Italian breaded and oven fried zukes the best. I'll be making those for lunch.

Jaxson- I don't know if Mike will eat that. I think he just likes looking at the zuke plant because he is amazed at how big they get.


Cyn- Glad to hear things are picking up.

That is so funny Lisa and NMS--I was wondering the very same thing. Jaxson--you have us all curious now! Oops..back to work!
