Zucchini Planks

Here’s another in-your-face summer memory, ZUCCHINI!!!  Zucchini, zucchini everywhere, even in your underwear!  Hahahaha.  Honestly whatever possessed Patty (mom) to plant so much of it!?  There surely was a lot of zucchini bread and a threat about zucchini ice cream from cousin Dave.

Over the years I’ve found a new appreciation for zucchini’s subtly.  I love it in Frank’s Grilled Veggie Dagwood and Emma’s favorite dish from Foodo last year, the Zucchini Cakes without Oil.  This recipe is another tribute to the zucchini and one I’ve been making for years.
