Freezing Zucchini

I'm lucky that a lot of the people I work with have gardens and grow more food than they can eat. People are always bringing in vegetables to share with everyone. They just throw them on a table with a first come-first served sign.

Today I brought home 5 zucchinis. I always get hungry for zucchini bread or fried zucchini in the Fall so I wanted to freeze some.

I know that my zucchini bread recipe calls for 2-1/2 cups of shredded zucchini so I placed the shredded zucchini in bags of 2-1/2 cups. I sliced the rest and put them in separate bags as well.

I wrote what type of zucchini it is (shredded, sliced) and then how much is in each bag (2-1/2 cups) and the date that I froze it (8/26/09).

Now when I am in the mood for some bread or some fried zucchini in butter with mozzarella I can pull some zucchini out of the freezer.
