The other day Bobby Flay's Throwdown was 100% zucchini, which caught my attention. When the challenger stuffed the blossoms, I entered a new dimension of food consciousness. Not only do I love cooking with zucchini, but my garden is rife with squash plants. So one night last week, when I didn't feel like eating a meal, I waddled out to the garden and plucked some zucchini blossoms. And this, readers, is what I came up with. Mmm Mmm good.
Total Prep Time: 15 min
Serves 6
1. Pick 15-18 blossoms from your garden. Swish in warm salt water to zap any garden "visitors." Lay the blossoms on a paper towel.
2. Turn on your oil to heat up while you prep.
3. Mix up 1 C. pancake batter (not too thick) while you soften 8 oz cream cheese in microwave for 30 seconds.
4. Finely chop a fresh basil leaf and 1/3 c. black olives. Add to the cream cheese mixture.
5. Stuff the blossoms with the mixture.

Oh you know I'm gonna try this!!! I grow tired of just baking zuchinni bread (what? who could grow tired of that? well me), so thanks for this recipe.
I think out of my whole garden, I've enjoyed pickeling the cucumbers and using the fresh basil in dishes. Mmmmm
