a few weeks ago, we were lucky enough to receive two large bags of zucchini from mike’s mom’s garden. as soon as we got home, i grated the zucchini in my food processor, and added it into spaghetti sauce and mini zucchni bread loaves for our upcoming camping trip to the russian river.
you know the desert island game, right? where you pick one food that you could live on forever if you were stranded on a desert island? well, tacos are my desert island food. i know that’s cheating a little bit, because there are so many taco ingredients. but how could i ever decide between beans, tortillas, avocado, or salsa?
