Chocolate Cherry Pie with Zucchini
Currently, we have a lot of zucchini in our garden, so I always think about new ways to use them. My latest attempt was a chocolate cake with cherries. The zucchini and the cherries make the cake nice and juicy. Do you grow your own veggies? How do you use them? -Nicole
