This month, we're celebrating zucchini with Sue of Palatable Pastime leading the charge. She wrote: "National Zucchini Day - let's have some fun using this versatile vegetable in your favorite recipes. Note the actual holiday is on the 8th, the event is on the 1st."

Zucchini Master
He still talks about this zucchini. "Remember when I grew a zucchini that was almost as big as I was?" he asks enthusiastically. Yes! He did plant some Eight-Ball Zucchini this year, but they didn't do very well. So, I picked up some regular-sized squash at the farmers' market for this creation.



Zucchini Frittata
Frittata is something that we make all the time as a way to use up leftover veggies. But if you use one kind, in this case zucchini, and slice it really thin, it creates an elegant slice. This was one very large zucchini, six eggs, a pat of butter, herbs from the garden, and really good salt for a delicious summertime dinner!

Ingredients makes one 8" frittata
  • 3 to 4 zucchini, thinly sliced (I use my mandolin slicer set on the thinnest setting)
  • 1 T butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 C fresh herbs (I used oregano, thyme, and parsley)
  • freshly ground pepper
  • flake salt for serving

Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter your baking dish and layer in your zucchini. Beat the herbs and ground pepper into the eggs. And pour the eggs over the zucchini. Move the zucchini around to make sure that the egg mixture penetrates to the bottom of the pan.

Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. Uncover and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Sprinkle with good quality flake salt and serve. This is just as good cold the next day.

    I'd still be talking about it too, that's a monster zucchini! And I've been humming Zucchini Frittata to the tune of Hakuna Matata ever since I read it LOL

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
