We’ve hit summer.
Temperatures near 100˚ for as far as the forecast goes, corn over head high, and zucchini the size of baseball bats (well, not quite, but close.) I have a feeling it’s going to be long July of finding creative ways to use the abundance of zucchini. I grew up on zucchini bread and really nothing else. For the longest time I had no clue zucchini could be used for anything except sweet bread.
This quesadilla is a snap to throw together and I think you could even convince your meat-grilling friends to save you some space on the grill! Additions of summer squash and eggplant would also be delicious!
