I could serve rice and bean based meals predominantly, with small amounts of vegetables. Lots of carb heavy starches.

Just dip in egg/water wash, dreg thru some breadcrumbs and fry them up. I got a nice little bag with 3 zucchini and 2 apples for 99 cents at Kroger in their mark-down section. Also got a bag of 3 orange peppers, and another of 3 limes and 2 lemons. So all that for $3.

You probably have to add a little extra water to get it past the chopped stage into a liquid puree. The liquid zucchini can substitute for water or milk in stews, or in baking bread, cake, etc. Easy to freeze until you want to use it too!Ruth / RGThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643199179518780366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-55443872821009752262017-05-20T02:40:44.149+00:002017-05-20T02:40:44.149+00:00What a geat haul!
