I almost took a picture to show you how big my biceps have become.
I see you looking confused, but really I have been lifting some pretty heavy weights this week, and I am not talking about the dumbells at the gym.
Nope, I am talking about the herculean sized zucchinis. I know I have said it before, but how do those squash grown into behemouths overnight? I may have some record breakers this year. Maybe I need to enter them into the summer fair of the largest zucchini contest. Yep, I bet I have removed a few blue ribbon winners this year.
Well with my endless supply of zucchini I have been finding some creative ways to enjoy them, but this Zucchini Carpacchio recipe is so genius. It takes zero time to prepare, and it is quite beautiful served up on a pretty plate. Perfect to serve as a salad or side, and great to serve at the BBQ this summer, because you can make it ahead of time and serve at room temperature.
Have you ever grown zucchini? Did you get baseball size squashes? If so, what did you do with them?
