Summer is upon us, and if you are like me, the zucchini in your garden is beginning to get out of control. No fear though, this abundant vegetable can be used in a multitude of delicious recipes. Since zucchini contains a lot of water, when baked into goodies it results in a moist texture and subtle sweetness that kids will love……
