Well I decided to post two recipes this week to make up for not getting one out last week. :)  I don't want to get too far behind on my goal of posting one recipe a week from the 42 recipes I received at my bridal shower.  Six down 36 to go!  Especially since I'll be on hiatus for the next 2 weeks, with my husband and his family traveling around Ireland.  I can't wait!  I promise you, I'll have pictures galore to share when I get back!  

     But lets not deviate from the recipe at hand,  this Zucchini Pancake recipe that came from my Aunt Chris.  The large zucchini I used was serendipitously given to us by our friend's Brian and Colleen from their garden last week.  I was stoked to take it home, I knew just the right recipe for it.  Many thanks to Brian and Colleen for their generosity!  

     I love potato pancakes, a staple in our house growing up.  So I was excited to switch up the ingredients and make a new kind of pancake.  Tim and I ate through the whole batch with no problem (the batch made about 10 pancakes).  We were little piggies that night. :)  He switch between applesauce and sour cream as his topping while I stuck with sour cream as my topping.
