   holy god! yes, the big ones are best for baking because they don't have as much flavor. i recommend zucchini bread- you could probably make five loaves with that one and freeze some! i've got a great recipe if you need one (also for cookies and muffins...)

    woah!! I bought one about that size recently from an organic farm stand... I had never run across that size zucchini in the store. ;) I think it lasted us about three meals!

    I would love any and all recipes anyone wants to share!
    We actually found a few more, too-but not quite so big.
    It was so funny because I work at a kid's shop and we had it on the counter so kids could see it...their reactions were priceless!
    Happy Saturday, friends!

    Oh my gosh, this has happened to me before -- It was in my students' garden, and it was as big as one of the girls in the two-year-old room.

    My advice: Zucchini bread, and lots of it.

    i wish i would have found all of you nice people when i turned my back on the zucchini for a week earlier this season. several scary giant zukes were composted, i'm sad to report. i even put them out on the sidewalk for free first!

    oh, a friend gave me one even bigger than this a few weeks back! miles could barely carry it. i grated it all up and then froze it in the portions needed for a loaf of zucchini bread...i always put lemon zest in mine.

    yes, I think you are all right-zucchini bread it is! And chocolate sound like a great addition...lemon zest, too! I leave for my sister's soon-we'll bake tonight.
    greenlook-:) thanks-you may be seeing a lot more of it...my new favorite spot

    I know I'm late on this but Ms. Stewart has an awesome recipe for zucchini fritters with a dill sauce on her website (I just did a search). I made them the other night for dinner and they were not hard to do, and they were soooo good.
    For your next zucchini anyway :)
