    I do love zucchini but I mostly use them as side dishes or in curries. I have never used them in baking but I did hear that zucchini bread for example is very healthy. I might try baking with zucchini one day.

      I totally recommend trying them in baking too! My gram did it when I was little and I still remember her delicious baked treats!
