Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes

Ok, I can hear you saying it now: "Another zucchini recipe?!" I know... this has been the "Summer of the Zucchini." Based on my Pinterest feed and friends' Facebook updates, I know I'm not alone in trying to find new uses for the green squash taking over gardens everywhere. However, if you're sick of hearing about zucchini, you'll be happy to know that this should be my last zucchini recipe for this summer. :)

How to Freeze Zucchini and Yellow Squash

I feel like all I've talked about lately is zucchini. I can't escape it! One plant produces a lot of squash -and we have six! (Two yellow squash and four zucchini). Needless to say, we are a bit overrun with the yellow and green veggies right now.

Sloppy Joe Zucchini Boats (Or Yellow Squash)

It's Zucchini Season here, and from the looks of my Pinterest feed, I'm not alone. Everywhere I look, friends are sharing and pinning creative recipes to use up all those green things that are filling my fridge.

I'm using all my creative resources to put it to use before it spoils. And I've been busy. I grated and froze zucchini for bread and muffins. I sliced and blanched yellow squash to freeze. We've grilled and sauteed squash for a dinner side dish. I tried my hand at freezing a zucchini lasagna. This weekend, I'll make a Zucchini Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing. And the other night for dinner, we had these Sloppy Joe Zucchini Boats.
