sounds too simple. not edible. equal parts cocoa powder and flour? Gah. Where's the sugar? I like my brownies sweet-er than that. And what would that yield? About a cup and a half of brownie mix? What do you make it in, a single serving rammekin?

hehehe
it's really not as bad as you're imagining, but you need to like the taste of old bay. 1 shredded zucchini - smallish 1 egg salt, pepper, old bay to taste bread crumbs Mash it all together - like you're making salmon or crab cakes. Brush with melted butter, broil for 4 minutes.

thanks , it has promise. I am not sure I'd like the mushy bread crumbs. I googled and came up with something using cheese.I think I am getting close but I am thinking something with cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella or a bread would be best.

chocolate zucchini cake
I've actually tried chocolate zucchini cake and it's divine.
When I first encountered Clotilde Dusoulier's fabulous Chocolate and Zucchini website, I thought to myself, "How wonderful, the ingredients of my favorite cake!" My grandmother taught me how to bake when I was very young, and later when I was in high school she sent us a recipe pulled from Sunset Magazine for Chocolate and Zucchini Cake. Being adventurous, and knowing how good zucchini bread tastes, I tried it and it quickly became my favorite - the standard against which all future chocolate cakes were measured. The main distinction of this particular cake is its moistness. The zucchini absorbes the cocoa delivering the full flavor of chocoate, but without the heaviness of some other chocolate cakes. Today mom pulled the recipe out of some forgotten folder, still intact from the September 1974 issue of Sunset. I haven't made the cake in over twenty years, but it is still as delicious as I remember it. Here's to you Clotilde! Happy belated Birthday and thank you for the inspiration of Chocolate and Zucchini. 2 1/2 cups regular all-purpose flour, unsifted 1/2 cup cocoa 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 cup soft butter 2 cups sugar 3 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 teaspoons grated orange peel 2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini 1/2 cup milk 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans Glaze (directions follow) Preheat the oven to 350°F. 1 Combine the four, cocoa, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside. 2 With a mixer, beat together the butter and the sugar until they are smoothly blended. Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. With a spoon, stir in the vanilla, orange peel, and zucchini. 3 Alternately stir the dry ingredients and the milk into the zucchini mixture, including the nuts with the last addition. 4 Pour the batter into a greased and flour-dusted 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan. Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes (test at 45 minutes!) or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes; turn out on wire rack to cool thoroughly. 5 Drizzle glaze over cake. Glaze: Mix together 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 Tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth. Cut in thin slices to serve. Makes 10-12 servings. http://www.elise.com/recipes/archive...chini_cake.php |

That's about 2/7ths zucchini by volume. You could probably sneak that much wet sawdust in and noone would be the wiser if you used maple or sweet birch.

Maybe not a recipie per se - but I had this drink the other day at a Greek restaurant and it was soooo nice and refreshing on a 110 degree day.
Regular lemonade - if you are lazy like I am - I used minute maid. 2-3 basil leaves - chopped into small strips 1-2 slices lemon 1-2 slices lime Mix the basil, lemon & lime in the bottom of a chilled pint glass - mulch it like you would a lime & mint for a mojito. Then put in ice and pour lemonade over the mixture & ice. Basil lemonade - add some vodka and its even better. Regardless - extremely refreshing on a hot day.

I like zucchini, but you really ought to compost them if they get much bigger than a banana. julienne cut them and saute in a little butter, dress with some celtic sea salt and balsamic vinegar. Simple.
