Katharine Mantzouris 7/04/2023 7:57 AMIt was tough at the grocery store to do my whole meal as I tried to find bulk/loose zucchini as none existed as usual! It's it zucchini abundance season? Texted my husband he also didnt have any and had to buy the plastic wrapped organic kind. Looks like a farmers market visit will be happening soon! -
