How much zucchini bread can one family possibly eat?


The bounty of the earth is stressing me out.
I totally know that it's bad to let the zucchini grow so big - the only thing it's good for at this size is bread. Lots and lots of bread. But I can't keep up with it! I swear, I'll go outside one day and see a few teeny tiny little zucchini-ettes, but the very next day they've grown so heavy that the girls can't help me carry them into the house. Aaaaurgh! Does anybody want one of my giant zucchinis? Anyone? Anyone?
I don't yet know the zucchini-bread-consuming limits for a family of 6 (or 5, really. Lucy isn't yet participating.) But I have a feeling that, by the end of the summer, that question will be solved.

Hi Becca - My mom did this one summer, too. I'd recommend chocolate zucchini cake and zucchini cookies. Seriously. Give her a call - I'm sure that she can pass along some of the better recipes!

Thanks, Kelli, for the tip. I owe your parents a call anyway, so this just may give me the motivation to stay awake long enough after the kids' bedtime to do it. :)
