For those of us who freeze grated Zucchini. Or, if like me, you grow it in the garden. I happen to enjoy Zucchini Squash. I have just finished ordering a bunch of seed for my garden so I got this recipe on my mind. There are several versions and I just kind of make mine from parts of 2-3 others. It's real tasty and colorful to slide in with dried beans, Mexican cornbread and cream corn.

When patty begins to brown us a spatula and flatten out patty. Don't crowd them in the pan. Cook 2 minutes or until brown then turn over and cook 2 or so minutes on the other side, they should brown easily. Place patties on a cookie sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree oven.
