FRESH ZUCCHINI TIPS
They're great raw in vegetable platters, cooked, steamed, fried, baked or microwaved.
Good-quality zucchini should be firm, smooth-skinned and small in size. The surface will shiny and dark-green in color. Avoid product that is soft,
wrinkled, blemished or dull in appearance. Large squash will be less tender than smaller product.
You can also shred them and freeze for future use. Just place 2-cup portions in freezer bags. When you thaw out the packages, you'll notice a great deal of moisture so squeeze this out before using them in a recipe. This way you can have zucchini bread anytime!
One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.
~Luciano Pavarotti
For a fun breakfast change: Peel and spilt a banana and place in a flat bowl. Sprinkle with a cup of your child’s favorite dry cereal and then top with a half-cup of yogurt. You also could add berries or miniature chocolate chips.
