Fall is *that* person who shows up waaay to early to the party. I am just not ready yet, especially since we spent pretty much alll of august under a thick cloud of wildfire smoke hanging in the air. I just need a few more days of sunshine before I hibernate under a pile of blankets please. So I’m summoning up a bit more summer and sneaking in a last summer recipe before everything becomes pumpkin spiced. It’s an easy but a goodie, and perfect for using up all the last of the seasons zucchini!
