Zucchini Pancakes

When garden-fresh zucchini starts to pile up, shred that squash and heat up the griddle for zucchini pancakes.

Enjoy your fleet of zucchini boats with a green salad made with other garden produce. Additionally, a batch of fluffy Italian rice or quinoa is a great way to incorporate wholesome grains into the menu. You might also consider baking up this easy Dutch-oven bread for some satisfying carbohydrates.

Mediterranean Bulgur Salad

If you have vine-ripened tomatoes from the garden (or a good farmstand), by all means use them. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, and add 2 cups of the pieces instead of the cherry tomatoes. Your diced ripe tomatoes will release more juice into the salad than cherry tomatoes, but it won’t usually be enough to change the texture of the grain (the bulgur wheat will absorb the extra moisture, as it sits). The only downside is that diced tomatoes will soften in a day or two, which shortens the refrigerator life of any leftovers.

Pancakes for a Crowd

Sausage Pancake Muffins

My kids love sausage and pancakes but making them during the week was out of the question. I purchased the frozen variety on a stick but wasn't keen on the calories, additives or price. This version of pigs in a blanket is a great alternative that's much more cost effective.
