    Thanks Shiny!

    I made the Skinny Taste Cream of Zucchini Soup. Stupid-easy to make and it tastes AMAZING. Put fancy garnishes on it and serve it at a dinner party kind of amazing.

    It's too hot for soup, but I still enjoyed it.

    Really jealous of your zucchini harvest!

    I didn't like raw zoodles much either, EXCEPT mixed with a cold peanut-sesame sauce. It is AWESOME. Just google peanut-sesame noodles and there are lots of recipes out there. Great for hot summer days. :smiley:

    I like to use a mandolin slicer and slice them into very thin pieces lengthwise then fry with a bit of olive oil or butter. Add salt and pepper and cayenne (which is of course optional). So good.

    I like them sautéed with onions and taco seasoning like cumin and chile pepper as a taco or enchilada filling.

    You made me think of the movie Ratatouille when they made the ratatouille with thin slices at the end

    I hope that I still have zucs when my tomatoes and eggplant start ripening!

    Well, I do have tomatoes right now, but not nearly enough for ratatouille.

    I slice them thin on a mandolin, and marinate them (with peppers and mushrooms) with balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, fresh grated ginger, and olive oil. I bag them up and let them sit overnight (often make several bags, they keep for quite a few days) then grill them on the bbq (I bought a special grilling pan).

    i'm a big fan of grilled zucchini, squash, and onions as a side dish to most major protein main courses. Then, I borrowed a recipe from someone on MFP actually for a very low cal frittata. 4 eggs, 4 zucchini, about 50g of cheese, pepper, breakfast!

    I just slice them up into 1/4 inch or so slices and grill / lightly fry (max 1 tsp of oil on a pan) them with Pam and sprinkle some salt on them and after they're done on both sides eat them with a bit of reduced fat sour cream (30 Cal/Tbsp). Just like my grandma used to make.
