Plenty of potential Trombettas on the vine - if they all turn into large squash, I'll be knee deep in them. The largest (which is out of the picture to the right) is probably getting close to 18" and growing noticeably every day so some Trombetta bread/noodles should be in my near future.

Forgot to ask...Did you pick your 18" Trombetta yet? If not, I figure it's grown another ten inches, and will be looking like Fred Flintstone's club.

I had underestimated its size/growth rate ..... as of this morning, it was 25-1/2 inches and I just picked it!

I bought this item an hour ago so I'll have something to make noodles with since I now have a lotta' squash to eat! There is a recipe at the bottom of that link for Creamy Chicken with Cherry Tomatoes (my Sugar Sweets are starting to come in) and a Chili Mac idea using sweet potato noodles. One of these days, I'll purchase a 'spiralizer'.

I'm also looking for a tasty zucchini bread recipe that is low sugar or one I can use with stevia. I have a good recipe already with lots of sugar so I'll play around with that one for starters. With all the Trombettas on the vine, I can make bread with them and freeze it if the actual squash doesn't freeze well and I'm thinking it won't.
