What do you do with zucchini?

I wish neighbors would leave random veggies on my doorstep lol.... of course I live in an apt so they might not be there long ahaha!.

I love Zucchini's.
I don't really have any suggestions that has not been said already!

And I am stealing some more suggestions from this post..,. shhh!

I leave it alone... it leaves me alone.

Lol, being Asian, I boil it with soy sauce.

Mix it with some squash, cherry tomatoes, parmesan and quinoa pasta, for a nice and fresh pasta primavera. Yum!

this is almost exactly what I was going to suggest! But I didn't know there was quinoa pasta! YUM

slice it and put it in a saucepan with whole canned tomatoes, a bit of onion and, if you want, spice it up with oregano garlic and basil. As a kid, that was one of my favorite summertime side dishes. Sometimes, I even asked my mom to make it for me for lunch. Just that, nothing else. (I know, weird kid!)

Also is yummy on the grill.

Or, I also make lasagna with it. I slice it and use the slices instead of noodles. put a bit of pasta sauce on the bottom of a cake pan, a layer of sliced zucchini, more sauce, some sliced muchrooms, shredded carrots, some mozerella, another layer of zucchini (or, make one of the layers from sliced eggplant), some cauliflower, more sauce, spinach, more cheese and Voila! a yummy vegetable lasagna (or, au gratin if you want to be precise). You can use whatever fresh veggies you have, don't limit yourself to my suggestions, use your favorite or whatever you have a plethera of. You can add meat in one of the layers if you want, but you don't need to. I avoid broccoli in this though, because it gets too bitter if it is cooked too long.

We had kabobs the other night and used zucchini...it was very yummy!

Found this great recipe for Low Fat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread!

I am making this today, but plan on substituting Splenda brown sugar for reg and light margarine for the butter to cut fat & calories even more!

I'll let y'all know how it turns out!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE! everything sauted and throw in some shrimp... yum

i love grilled zucchini too with some yellow squash.

I make ZOODLES! I have a Spirooli, and when you use this on your zucchini you get Zoodles - noodles made of pure zucchini, so you can cook 'em quick (they cook REALLY FAST), then pour marinara sauce over 'em, sprinkle with Parmesan, and you have a plate full of vegetables with no pasta in site!

Here's what a Spirooli is, I also use it to slice stuff!

Yeah I grill mine, on the george forman (dont have a regular outdoor grill :[ ).....add a little garlic pepper (tastefully simple) seasoning...very yummy

Grill it up with a little bit of olive oil and low sodium seasoning like Mrs Dash or lite salt, pepper and fresh herbs...Yummy!

Well you can try grilling it. Or.. putting it into a pasta salad type thing.. My aunt grates it up with some carrots and puts it in meatloaf, it's delicious! But you could also make some Zucchini muffins, those are good too.

I cook it the Egyptian way. Cut in slices and cook with lots of canned chopped tomatoes/ fresh tomato sauce, chopped onions, bell peppers and any spices/salt/pepper you like(I use salt, pepper, paprika powder, garlic and curry powder) Serve with rice. You can also put cooked meat inside this.
