I shred the zucchini and use it to make turkey burgers
Sorry, don't have any ideas for the yellow squash though .0 -
the other night I made slices of zucchini, topped with sauce, mushrooms and a light sprinkle of reduced fat mozzarella cheese, you can cut in giant coins or half them lengthwise depending on how big they are. Mine were smaller so I halved lengthwise. Baked at 350 for 30 minutes (or until soft).....delicious and super low cal.0

Zucchini Boats
Mix in a bowl:
shredded carrots
ricotta cheese
parmesan cheese
garlic powder
finely chopped onions
italian seasoning
Cut the zucchini's in half long ways and gut out the insides
once everything is done, put the mixings inside the boat and
cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes then eat
DELICIOUS
Yum!
oh and take the squash, shred them really fine and add it to the mixing...lol0 -

Oddly, from my ex-husband LOL he brought me home some monsters from his folks garden.0 -
Mine have just been sauteed with butter and garlic, and they're going in a quiche with creme fraiche, lemon zest, mint and parmesan added to the eggs.0

Ok, I think I'm going to shred some for zucchini bread, make a lasagna which I can freeze in individual packages (great since I'm single), and just sautée the rest with a steak for dinner;)
Thanks everyone!0 -

A nicely seasoned gelato or sorbet is definitely in order.0

The other day I just roasted a bunch of veggies in the oven (I've also done the same thing but in a foil packet on the grill). I used:
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 red bell pepper
one yellow onion
1/2 zucchini
1/2 yellow squash
black pepper, parsley, sage (to taste)
tbsp of EVOO
I ate the whole thing myself lol :blushing: another good recipe I've made before (that my whole omnivorous family LOVED) was something called Summer Cymlings. Summer Cymlings is the same thing as Yellow Squash, btw Here's the link:

This is just one that I'd like to try... there are a gazillion recipes on pinterest involving squash and zucchini!0 -
Just want to commend you all on your great responses. A great community.0

I have some giant veggies... Recipe suggestions for dinner to use them up??
Btw, your profile pic made me lol.0 -

I totally agree with that statement!0 -
bump, two fo my favorite veggies. I wish my garden would hve produced a little more this year0

I love them shredded and mixed with a bit of pesto. A little sauce goes a long way so the calories don't have to be high. Sometimes I make a big batch using the shredder on my food processor. It's always a hit at barbecues. Last time someone started scooping it up in those little bowl shaped tortilla chips.0

Not enough people eat yellow squash I think. It tastes better than zucchini in my opinion.
I am probably making these in the next week or so, but I don't know if they are good or not
