When I decided yesterday to use zucchini as my Z post, I thought it would be perfect to post a delicious recipe with some nice photos of a delicious meal that included stuffed zucchini. Little did I know I was going to have a bunch of teenagers over when dinnertime came around. So, instead of a beautiful meal I show you hot dogs for last night and zucchini ready to be stuffed for tonight's dinner ::fail::
You should head over to Nibble Me This right now to see the meal I had planned to prepare for this post, and say hello to Chris while you're there! Nibble Me This is the blog of Chris - the grilling god! Chris happens to be one of my best blogging buddies too. Thanks Chris for always leaving me comments and cracking me up with your great sense of humor.
So that's a wrap peeps. The A-Z Challenge has come to an end for this year. I will probably take a blogging break as far as posting goes for the rest of this week to give me time to do some comment catch up and visiting your blogs. I'll be back in time for my A-Z Reflections post on Monday, May 7th. This has been a lot of fun!
Cheers! :)
I have enjoyed all your a-z posts. Thanks for sharing ! Hope your week is a wonderful one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ma and thank you for taking the time to come over to read all my posts all month! Hope you have a wonderful week too :)
DeleteYay we got there! Enjoy your blogging break!
ReplyDeleteRandom fact: a zucchini is a courgette over on my side of the pond :)
::High Five:: We did it! Thanks for today's random fact too :)
DeleteThanks for sharing the wonderful post during the past month.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the challenge.
Yvonne.

It's a pleasure to visit your blog and to meet you!
I simple enjoy food as one of the most delectable spices of life!

Thanks for stopping by Betty. I will definitely stop over to visit you too. Congrats on being my 400th follower - you win! You don't actually get anything but still ;)
DeleteI love zucchini. It's taken me forever to get my husband to eat it.
ReplyDeleteI never liked it until a few years ago and now I can't get enough of it!
DeleteWhat if I don't want to nibble? Can I bite instead?
ReplyDeleteWell of course Pat - nibble, bite, chomp, inhale... whatever you prefer. Just don't be late for dinner ;)
DeleteAs a kid, I hated zucchini (and onions and tomatoes) but as an adult, I love it! Still hate onions and barely tolerate tomatoes....but zucchini....I could fill my veggie garden with it and be very satisfied!
ReplyDeleteI was the same way, even worse actually. I wouldn't eat any veggies besides corn and potatoes until I was in my mid twenties!! These days I love all veggies and actually eat a mostly vegetarian diet. Zucchini is definitely one of my very favs :)
DeleteWe did it!!! I love stuffed zuccini!!!! YUMS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe did, we made it!! Whoo-hoo! Would you like a cold beer to go with that stuffed zucchini to celebrate? ;)
DeleteHumm that zuccini looks sooo good. It has been fun reading your A-Z entries. You write so well.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Paula. I'm so lucky to have friends like you that always come to read no matter what it is I'm babbling about! :)
Deletedelicious looking zucchinis! Fun with the kids coming over (great hostess too to go with the flow at the last moment too!)
ReplyDeleteWTG Martha!!! YOU DID IT!!!! Congrats we made it through the challenge :)
betty
Yay, we made it Betty!! ::confetti falling:: ;)
DeleteI am always prepared to go with the flow with the boys and their friends. I'm always sure to have something on hand that will feed a group in a moments notice!
I have a great recipe for zucchini fritters, its yummy and quite simple! Let me know if you want it. I can e-mail it to you. Love zucchini too.
ReplyDeleteGreat that we finished the challenge, it's been great Martha!
I've made zucchini fritters too, but sure send on the recipe. I'd love to try yours too! Congrats on finishing the challenge Jen :)
DeleteWe take peppers, zucchini, squash and portabellas(sp?) and toss them with fresh garlic, olive oil and maybe a tad of balsamic and grill them all the time! Yum! I will be trying this one as well. We made it through the challenge. My post is extremely lame because I am over the top busy and not feeling well at all today. I will be back to my usual rambling posts after today.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my very favorite dishes but I don't put in peppers - so yummy! We made it through the challenge ::popping champagne:: :)
DeleteSure hope you feel better soon!
That looks so yummy! What do you stuff the zuc with???
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Congratulations on finishing the challenge!
There is a link on the post to "Nibble Me This" that shows the recipe, but there are all different ways to make stuffed zucchini and all are delicious!
DeleteCan you hear curly saying PERFECT? I hope so, this looks just that!
ReplyDeleteI don't think hot dogs and zucchini are perfect (quite the fail from the dinner I had planned) but hopefully the stuffed squash will turn out perfect for tonight :)
DeleteI've never tried zucchini on the grill, and actually, I've only tried it a couple of times at all. Sad, huh?
ReplyDeleteTisk, tisk Liz! You need to eat your veggies! Grilled zucchini is my favorite way to make it. Nom, nom!
DeleteYum! I love zucchini and it's a veggie I can actually get my hubby to eat!
ReplyDeleteHey Britney, have you ever tried it grilled and stuffed? So good!
DeleteJust as well you don't live here in UK or your Z post would had been a C for courgette post. Well done on reaching the end I think we all deserve a rest. Thaanks for following.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Cassam :)
DeleteGag. Anything green isn't really my friend, lol. Gives me gas... TMI?
ReplyDeleteOh come on Cassie, that just makes it more fun ;P
DeleteEnjoy the break and I hope that stuffed zucchini is yummmmy tonight! Congrats on completing A to Z.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicki, see you at Disney! ;)
DeleteI love zucchini, too. I always keep some on hand. I put it in almost everything to make sure folks get their veggies.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea! Zucchini is so good in so many different things!
DeleteHeaven's to Betsy, I never even thought of zucchini...I love zucchini bread :)Congrats on makig it to the end...now go and take a break!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy, congrats to you too! :)
DeleteThe food on the grill has my attention - I have never grilled a whole zucchini. sandie
ReplyDeleteI just cut them in half, rub them with olive oil and grill - delicious!
DeleteFollowing back :-)
ReplyDeleteWe made it to the end of the month. I think most of us A to Z-ers still have our sanity...or at least most of it :-)
What's sanity? I lost mine way before the challenge ;)
DeleteCongrats on finishing the challenge! Is it crazy that I think the hot dogs sound awesome too?
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in the stuff zucchini recipe so I will have to check out that blog. I make zucchini chips (baked in the oven)that I love. I also make zucchini latkes with a tzatziki sauce. I guess what I'm trying to say is I LOVE ZUCCHINI:)
Thanks for following me. I hope we become great blogging buddies:)
I know we will become great blogging buddies if I have anything to do with it!
DeleteYes, I cooked with zucchini yesterday. Congrats on completing the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI hope the monsters don't come to get us now, even if they are precious!
DeleteBig zuccini fan here. And summer squash. So good and healthy too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats for finishing the challenge.
Congrats to you too Jay - we did it! :)

DeleteYum! you put me in the mind to grill. Made it through, now can relax and eat some BBQ! Even though it's over hope to continue to see awesome posts.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more relaxing posting and getting to know you better Bethie :)
DeleteHi Martha .. I love zucchini, cooked or raw, and I love marrow - it's just delicious and so easy and not watery ... and marrow chutney I used to make in SA .. is also delicious ... glad the kids had fun with their hot-dogs ..
ReplyDeleteCheers and congratulations on finishing with a wonderful veg! Hilary
See you on the other side of your break.

Thanks Mandy. It's only been two days since the challenge ended and I'm already feeling like it's been forever since I've posted, lol.
DeleteA-Z complete, woo-hoo!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah baby! :)
DeleteHa ha, Thanks for the link. I was wondering why I started getting activity on that post last week after such a long time. Have a great Mothers' Day Weekend!
