One thing that my kids really love in their lunchbox in lieu of a sandwich is zucchini slice. It’s also a regular in the rotation during the week at any given point as we tend to use up a lot of leftover produce and eggs prior to our next shop to make zucchini slice.

During Summer, zucchini’s are easy to grow, almost tasteless in food, and you can get a huge abundance of zucchini from one plant. This makes for a very inexpensive option for something to do with all the added zucchini’s from the garden.

Here is my Zucchini slice recipe that is an absolute HIT in our house.
