We just usually saute them with onions. Sometimes we add a little ginger and soy sauce. Yellow squash is one of my favorites.0

Our home makes Zucchini noodles. My fav is zucchini noddles with grilled chicken, bell peppers, and mushrooms in a pesto sauce. My BF loves it and it's such a great alternative to pasta.0

The other night I quarted my zucchini, shredded cabbage and cut up some onions. I sauted them in a skillet with butter. I put a lid on it and let them cook down. I let them cook until they started turning brown. I was so good!.......The browned zucchini tasted almost like fried squash....even my little boy liked it.0

I shred up zucchini in my food processor to a fine consistency and add it to my homemade marinara sauce. I find that it adds a nice texture without changing the flavor too much. I'm at work now, but I can post my recipe when I get home.0

I made the chicken enchilada stuffed zucchini from the SkinnyTaste website over the weekend. They were amazing! Great with a side of seasoned black beans.

This is my favorite recipe with zucchini and squash. It replaces lasagna noodles with zucchini and squash and the ricotta with a mixture of Greek yogurt, chopped broccoli and shredded cheese (it says use raw shredded goat cheese, but I just use low-fat or fat free shredded mozzarella cheese).

Also, I second the zucchini pizza boats.0 -

Makes 2 servings.
Quinoa and Black Bean Chili
1/2 cup dry quinoa
1 cup water (or vegetable stock)
1.5 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves minced
1 can no-salt added diced tomato (14 oz)
1 can low-sodium black beans (rinsed/drained)
1/2 green bell pepper (chopped)
1/2 red bell pepper (chopped)
1/2 large zucchini (chopped)
1/2 jalapeno pepper (seeded/diced)
1/2 TBS chili powder
1/2 TBS ground cumin
1/2 TBS ground chipotle
1/2 tsp ground oregano
1/2 cup frozen corn kernals
Bring the quinoa and water (or stock) to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes; set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin; cook and stir 1 minute to release the flavors. Stir in the tomatoes, black beans, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, zucchini, jalapeno pepper, chipotle pepper, and oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes (sometimes have to add a little water or stock if too thick).
After 20 minutes, stir in the reserved quinoa and corn. Cook to reheat the corn for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the cilantro to serve.
Makes 4-5 servings.0 -

I love squash in a frittata. I sauteed some tonight along with carrots, bell peppers, onions, garlic, spices and added to red quinoa.0
