Cheddar Baked Zucchini with BBQ Sauce is my recipe of the day.
This is a simple prep I did on some zucchini from the garden and wanted them done quickly and easily without the usual pan saute.
Select smaller zucchini without seeds for the best results, then slice and bake the rounds with some cheese on top . The little bit of drizzle with the bbq sauce adds a touch of smoky flavor without being wonky.
This is one of the last of the summer recipes I have for you this year as the season draws to a close. I will be posting a recipe for fresh peach iced tea on Tuesday while I gang up with a few blogging friends to celebrate the last of our peach recipe stash.
They are my favorite fruit. I still have some tomatoes and peppers going on although my zukes are winding down. But I will be out of blogging time. They will have to wait until next season.
I also have the most gorgeous little round eggplants of an unusual variety. Those will likely end up in curry as it seems time for a good Thai curry with veggies.
Then there are the herbs which I will be drying up. Some people ask me why I use things like dried thyme. It’s because I grow it. Doesn’t mean I won’t use it fresh when it’s available.
Some things like oregano, are actually better dried. But basil is one of those you do not necessarily want to dry and especially cilantro.
How are your gardens winding down? Feel free to chit chat with me in the comments.
