I am greatful (especially this week w/ our limited funds) but OMG !!!!!!

I have so many zucchini squash. I have been cubing them and putting the in the freezer. Today, I made a huge pot of veggie (zucchini) chili. I don't really like to bake (refrase, I don't want to eat all the baking), but I need some ideas as to what to do with all of these squash.

Does anyone have any zuchini recipes?

Well, I take a baked potato, scoop out most of the inside,oops, cut it in half first.

Put a little oil on the inside and grill it a few minutes.

Meanwhile, I grill zucchini, squash, red onion, green peppers, whatever that I have either on the grill or stove. I add a little cheddar or mozzarella cheese and put it in the potato skin. Sometimes I sprinkle a little garlic on it too.

That won't help you use up a lot of it, but it's a different idea!!

Slice some zucchini and parboil them. *Throw them in a baking dish and top with a little barbque sauce, a little hot sauce and sprinkle swiss cheese over them. *Bake util everything is bubbly.
Or you could send them my way!!!

This isn't for dinner but you could make zucchini bread or cake with them also....I have a recipe I can post, but I need to find it first.

We slice them in circles, flour them & fry them.

We also slice them & layer them w/mozz cheese & bake them.

Cut them up, add butter, foil them up & grill them.

I'm waiting for some shredded to try this bread recipe. When baked in bread, it freezes well!

I have a yummy recipe I got in an email newsletter from Betty Crocker last year for Zuchini bars that is really good. I even froze some shredded last yr and made them thru the winter b/c the entire family loved them.

I posted somewhere last yr asking what to do w/ them and someone said you can slice them and make lasagna w/ them, using the zuchini instead of the noodles. I have never tried it but might this weekend, fil is diabetic and tries to stear away from pasta as he loves it, so thought that might be a good alternative lasagna for him!

Bake them and freeze it (breads, muffins etc) then pull them out for quick breakfasts and snacks. I've been baking a lot to do this.

I use them in spagetti instead of hamburger. I slice them up and saute them first in a liitle oil along with some onions and garlic. Then I add the spagetti sauce and a bunch of parmesan and let it simmer for a while. When its done put it on top of some spaghetti. My kids love this.
