This week is a busy one. We’re hosting both sets of neighbors, I’m solo parenting, and everyone’s recovering from my family’s visit last week. As summer draws to a close and back-to-school is around the corner, I’m soaking up all the outdoors time I can get: visiting our local farmers’ markets, checking on my (tiny and very unimpressive) vegetable garden, and leisurely enjoying the fresh (albeit humid) summer air rather than cooking and cleaning indoors.
Between zucchini from my small garden and gifts from my lovely neighbors, I’ve got a lot of zucchini to work through, and I’m constantly in pursuit of ways to get my picky husband to eat it. With a highlight on this prolific summer vegetable (and a special mention of my favorite solo-parenting meal), these recipes are sure to be a hit for the fleeting dog days of summer 2025.
