stir fry that bitch into some flied lice

Slice it up, soak it in a little red wine, salt and pepper it and throw it on the grill.

Also my wife got a turning slicer so she could make raw friendly pasta with our squash. She and 2 year old love it.

I keep meaning to buy one of those turning slicers. Maybe I'll break down and order one off Amazon this weekend.

I think I'll try making these tonight but add some ginger or something to it:

stuffed zucchini- cut them in half lengthwise, hollow em out, stuff em with breadcrumbs, tomatoey rice or quinoa, cheese, or even meatball/meatloaf mix, bake 20-30 min at 350°

this looks like a delicious take on it: http://italianfood.about.com/od/stuffedzucchinirecipes/r/Zucchini-Stuffed-With-Risotto-Zucchine-Al-Risotto.htm

here's one i found for the flowers http://italianfood.about.com/od/stuffedzucchinirecipes/r/blr0755.htm

then there's the everpresent zucchini fritters and zucchini tempura. seriously, why look for other recipes?

i'm a fan of that shaved zucchini salad. pine nuts and sunflower sprouts and crushed tomatoes and lemon juice, yum. It's also great thinly sliced on a sandwich with avocado.

slice it, rub some olive oil on it, then sprinkle salt and pepper on it and throw it on the grill till it's just tender.

5/29/2012 2:38:01 PM

throw it in the trash

5/29/2012 2:38:15 PM

preheat oven to 350. cut into chunks, strips, or discs. toss in olive oil and freshly grated garlic. lay out on sheet with no overlap. sprinkle with salt, fresh pepper, and a fresh parmesan. bake until done. take out of oven. shred more fresh paremesan on top. profit.

5/29/2012 2:39:15 PM

Give some to me.

Wish I had a mandoline so I could make it into chips.

Oh yeah
Oooooooh yeah

Oh baby, baby, baby, you got eggplant parmigiana
Baby, baby, baby, bite my zucchini if you wanna

Your string bean days are over
I'm your cucumber man
I'm your food inunendo guy, food innuendo guy
Oh so delicious

Zucchini Cobbler

Quote :

"A very delicious dessert which tastes almost like Apple Cobbler. In fact, we cannot tell the difference. Top with whipped cream or serve with vanilla ice cream!"
