    I love fresh zucchini raw with a bit of ranch dip. But what i love even more, is to grill them on the BBQ with just a bit of olive oil, salt & pepper (I do the same with eggplant with I adore!). There are also great soups you can do, such as curry zucchini soup, dill zucchini soup or butternut squash soup with apples and ginger. There is zucchini bread or muffins, which are so moist and tasty. I also like to sauté diced squash with cherry tomatoes and fresh basil in a bit of oil, salt & pepper, adding the cherries towards the end so they don't become complete mush. There are many soup recipes online, but if you'd like the specific ones mentioned above, just let me know.

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE SUMMER FOOD EVER okay...

    1) cut the zuccini and squash into circlular pieces that look like thick chips.

    2) spray grill pan in olive oil.

    3) mix together olive oil (amount depending on how many veggies), garlic, a little salt, pepper, and a small amount of italian herbs.

    4) place about 12-16 zuccini and squash slices on the grill and coat the top with a brush. Each dip into the bowl should cover about 3 veggies.

    5) flip over each piece with tongs.

    6) At desired darkness (i like mine really dark brown), take them off and move them to the plate. begin cooking your next set of veggies in the same way.

    7) keep cooking until your done, lightly top with salt (if desired), and enjoy! :)

    there has got to be a million things to do with zucchini...i know i hated it as a kid because my mom put it in EVERYTHING.

    now, i love it. i just stir-fry it in a pan with a little olive oil and fresh garlic, and sometimes some crushed red pepper. beats anything i have ever had.

    Today I made a layered vegetarian casserole thing!
    2 sliced zucchini layers, 1 sliced carrot layer, and 1 eggplant layer, 2-3 pasta sauce layers, and then 2 layers with pureed mixture of black beans, cottage cheese, oregano, basil, and garlic powder.

    - make frittata with it (dice and saute with onion and any other vegetables you want to add, bet a few eggs, pout the eggs over the veggies, and slide into the oven at 350 until the eggs on top are set)

    - dice it up with other veggies and add to red sauce for pasta

    - grill it

    - make ratatouille (if you've also got eggplant, peppers, and tomato)

    - i've had a great zucchini bread before but I don't think it was low-cal

    I cut up my zucchini and/or yellow squash, add some diced onions and mushrooms. I add chicken broth and simmer until all veges are cooked to my liking. No real measurements, just what you want. Love it!!! Sometimes I'll add spaghetti sauce to it as well and a little bit of cheese for a meal. OH yummm!!!
