      My parents have a huge garden that they still tend in their 70s. We were always trying to give away produce, especially zucchini! I think my Mom made every zucchini recipe known to humankind. I also think I got my love of fresh produce from them. To help with dinner, often I'd be sent out to "pick a salad" or pick green beans, corn or peas. Nothing like eating them right off the plant. 😊

    A few things -
    I don't know if people say this enough in the comments, but you are very good at picking great recipes to try. I can imagine that being overwhelming with how many cookbooks you have.
    I love how real this channel is. You shop at Aldi and the recipes are realistic to make. So many channels only shop at Whole Foods and make recipes that are overly complicated.
    Lastly, I hope you are doing well after your surgery!

    My weird grandma always just fried zucchini. She's 99 now, but most of my best memories of her, she's standing over her electric skillet with her special cooking fork, flipping over zucchini. She'd set the slices on a paper towel to cool, and I would burn myself so I could eat some first. She tended every little round so carefully. I would not be surprised if she fried zucchini for hours every day in the summer. I will always equate her with fresh veggies. She grew her own, but her house was atop a hill and completely surrounded by tomato fields. The farmers let her take any that had fallen off the vine. So she always had peeled, sliced tomatoes in a cool whip container in her fridge. She also had bil, one who grew melons and one who grew sweet corn. We had her own frozen sweet corn all year round. She also made her own pickles. Between her and my country granny, we ate really well growing up!

    My mom added a really simple zucchini recipe to her repertoire in the (I’m guessing) mid-1970s:
    Grate zucchini
    Mix with salt
    Allow to rest
    Squeeze out some of the water
    Melt a lot of butter (say, 1-2 tbsp per cup of grated zucchini) in a sauté pan
    Add minced garlic (to taste) or garlic powder (but fresh is better)
    Sauté briefly, then add zucchini
    Cook, stirring, until tender
    Black pepper to taste
    Eat!

      @VictoriaL180 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I make the same recipe from The Victory Garden Cookbook by Marian Morash published 1982. She has a few variations to this recipe such as adding garlic, which your mom did, also using half shredded summer squash, adding chopped dill or dill weed. These are how I make it. It’s been a family favorite since 1982 when I bought this book, lol. I make it often! And you’re right it is very simple but delicious. ❤

    I was never a massive fan of zucchini, but an 80s staple was always chocolate zucchini cake and my goodness is it delicious!! A moist, unique cake I'd recommend to anyone with zucchini on hand. But it MUST include little chocolate chips. It just makes the cake what it is.

    My dad had a huge garden when I was growing up and the zucchini was rampant in July and August. It was so funny to go to church and see the piles of zucchini everyone was trying to give away. Problem was, everybody gardened back then, so nobody needed zucchini! (Or peppers, or tomatoes, etc.) I'm so grateful now to have grown up eating good fresh vegetables. These recipes look great! You're looking great, too--hope the healing is on track! ❤

A zucchini pancake recipe is in there, but not the other two. Guess that’s the nature of compilation books! Since I have it out, I think I’ll look for a few new recipes to try this week.

    Zucchini mock crab cakes are pretty good. Years ago a friend gave me a recipe for zucchini custard pie. It was delicious. Unfortunately, I lost the recipe. 😢
    I really like your videos.

      Oh wow...I'll have to look for that mock crab cake recipe since I can no longer have real crab!

    The zucchini pancakes, just like potato pancakes except with zucchini... they look yummy! And you were using my mom's plates from my childhood! That took me back 🙂The baked zucchini... yeah, I'd saute the onions for a bit, maybe with a clove or two of garlic, then add the zucchini and cook for a few minutes. How are you getting around? Better?

    I like the simple recipes because you can use them as a foundation to build on to suit your tastes, budget, and what you have at hand.

    Just a suggestion on the baked zucchini recipe to simultaneously fix the onion texture and seasoning issue. Caramelize your onion before tossing it into the casserole mix.

    My dad used to make something like the stewed zucchini but he added okra and eggplant. He called it “Daddy’s Delite” 😄

    Hi Anna! I hope you are doing good and staying off your feet some. I wanted to hop on the comments and thank you for something… and that is for making me a more confident cook! I love how you try to follow all the recipes but also use what you have and make it your own in your own way. I’ve always nervously followed recipes to the exact tee and you’ve made me more relaxed and confident in the kitchen. Thank you!! 😊
    I also collect vintage kitchen items and cookbooks and I love this channel so much. Keep being you Anna! ❤

    The zucchini pancakes remind me of latkes, just not fried in oil. We always made zucchini bread and cakes in 70's and 80's.

    The baked zucchini reminds me of a weight watchers recipe. It used the zucchini, one can of cream of chicken, an egg, 1/4 onion, and a cup of cheese. There was the same issue with the onions being a little crunchy. So I could definitely rate the onion. It’s one of my fav recipes though .

    Welcome back and wishes for continued healing. Those zucchini pancakes are calling me to try them with it being the season. 😆 Usually I’m noting which cookbook you’ve reviewed is going to be my next purchase but today… today… I want to know where you got your tee shirt?? I love the strawberries on it, it’s so cute!

    Welcome back Anna, What a great start of recipes to make with zucchini. I believe I did try them all & I also liked the stewed dish as my favorite. I added some garlic & onion powder as well as Italian seasoning to mine. YUM. I had a similar recipe from online…the only difference is it didn’t contain 🫑. So glad your back but please don’t overdo it as we want you to continue to heal & recover fully. This is The Retired nurse in me speaking…~ Hugs , Anita3kids from NJ

    I bet that first zucchini casserole recipe would be great with some thyme and/or oregano and lemon zest in it for flavour!
