Be prepared! It’s that time of year. Zucchini are now appearing in your garden, on your doorstep, and in ”free” boxes around town.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

I don’t know why either, but we do. And to be quite honest, once we start baking, frying, sauteeing, and grilling zucchini, we are reminded why we still come back to this squash year after year. In this video, Laura Vitale explains how to make irresistible fried zucchini fritters.
