It’s fall, but we can’t help but squeeze in one last recipe that reminds us of summer. Don’t worry, this recipe is perfect for all year round! One of the vegetables we’ve been obsessed with this past season has been zucchini. We got some as part of the CSA program we participate in. They were so bountiful, that we just had to come up with many different ways to use them! One thing that we love to do is a good stew - be it chicken, beef, or potatoes. We decided to try our hand with zucchini and the results were delicious. We spiced it up with our pepper sauce for a delicious added flavor and kick! Best of all, this dish is healthy, nutritious, and vegan. Be sure to give it a try!
