Wisconsin gardeners know that this is the time of the year when the zucchini starts sprouting uncontrollably! For some gardeners, they can’t keep up with the amount. Oftentimes, people are burnt out by the thought of another zucchini dish, and their friends have had enough of the free produce for a while; so what they’ve collected in their harvest ends up going to waste.
The harvest you worked so hard to grow doesn’t have to go uneaten or visit the bottom of the trash can, these 3 recipes can help you make the most of your harvest.
