zucchini and gruyere quesadillas with watercress guacamole (I grew something else!)

Okay so in this post I talked about how everything I try to grow fails and is eaten by slugs or I just never see a single leaf pop up...... well I grew something else...... ZUCCHINIS! (or courgettes since I'm British).


I have grown 3 so far and used one of them in this recipe, however I have had one growing for almost 3 weeks and it is marrow size. It is the biggest courgette I have ever seen and weighs about as much as a baby elephant (okay maybe a bit of exaggeration but it is HUGE!). It is so Incredibly big that I just can't think of something big enough to use the whole thing in so I'm gonna have to plan 'courgette day' in the near future before it grows any bigger!
I thought of zucchini cake, baked zucchini in tomato sauce, ratatouille and zucchini ribbons, humous and feta pizza might just about use up the whole courgette. I can't wait for this day to arrive. 


There are SO many foods I want to make and put on my blog but I just can nae seem to find the time to do it, stuff like cherry pie or clafoutis, apricot and strawberry crumble or danish pastries. And on one post (I couldn't find it), I promised when strawberries came into season where I live I would bake and tell you the BEST ever cake I have ever been so lucky to try. Please stick around for that because your life will change for the better.
