A Summer Bounty

Wow, what a long time between posts on here and what a busy six months it has been at this end. 2015 is shaping up to be a bumper of a year and I have some great topics that i want to write some small blog posts on. Additionally, if you have anything you would love to see something on, feel free to comment below.

Today, I simply share my new favourite way to use up some of the Summer bounty that is flowing at an alarming rate from my garden. Somehow i have ended up with no less than five zucchini (courgette) plants that have decided to flourish and produce handsomely.

And so, as is so often the theme of many people's summer, the game of 'can I eat them faster than I can grow them?' comes in to play. I am always trying new and interesting ways to use them - I can't stand to see them go to waste. My current favourite way is to turn them in to a wrap. I love when I can substitute, what would have ordinarily simply been a carrier for the flavours, and replace it with something equally as functional yet also packing an added nutritional punch.

These wraps, last in the fridge for a couple of days. make great lunchbox ideas for adults or children and can be used as a pizza base too!

There are variations on this all over the web, but for my simple instructions check out my new meal ideas page or get the printable PDF here. I have more simple meal ideas to come, and will be uploading them as I find snippets of time.

In the meantime, wrap and enjoy! Feel free to leave me a comment on how you use your summer bounty too, I would love to hear.
