Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini! Anybody else getting sick of the monster plant that just keeps growing and giving? Now, tomatoes, we all know, I can never get sick of, but zucchini is another story.

I have made zucchini noodles with bolognese or burst tomatoes. I am ok with that. Don’t be fooled though. If you have never turned zucchini into “noodles” before, they taste nothing like noodles. It is still 100% a vegetable.

Anybody that claims otherwise should be tarred and feathered. Well, maybe that’s a bit extreme, but don’t believe their lies!

Real carby noodles are way better. Always!

When I ate my fill of “zoodles,” I baked some lemon poppyseed zucchini muffins. Half are hidden in the back of the freezer for later because the recipe was too addictive.

Now, I am on to a big old veggie pizza for one every Friday night. See, my veggie hater husband works late on Friday, so that leaves me to call the shots on my homemade pizza. Usually, I have to work some pepperoni, chicken, or sausage into the mix to satiate him.

Not anymore! God bless football season. (He is not only a high school teacher, he also coaches football, hence the late nights—Friday night lights minus Riggins.)

All my zucchini passed along to me from my dad’s garden is now going on summer garden vegetable supreme pizza. In this pizza, I sliced the zucchini super thin. On other pizzas I have made, I spiralized the zucchini. That way, it wouldn’t lie flat and the edges would crips up a little during baking.

I even added the spiralized zucchini to a little arugula and made a salad for on top of the pizza.

So far I have found it very hard to get sick of summer garden vegetable supreme pizza. How do you get sick of pizza? Especially when all the garden’s are still popping out a bounty of corn, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers… The list goes on!
