Fried squash blossoms are amazing! I mean, seriously so delicious. The whole concept kind of fascinates me, that a flower, stuffed with cheese, battered, and fried, can taste so incredible. I first had squash blossoms in Rome. If I remember correctly, we went into this cute food shop by the Pantheon and bought parmesan squash blossoms pizzettes for our lunch the next day. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious they were, of course, everything is delicious in Rome.

While checking for squash bugs we would inevitably come across the “Hulk” zucchini that was hiding away in the middle of the plant. It’s like the zucchinis quadrupled in size overnight! And what do you do with giant zucchinis? You make zucchini bread!…
