Default Zucchini everywhere!

Before the zucchini overtake my garden and my home, please share with me your favorite zucchini recipes!

We've made zucchini bread and love it, but I'd love to see your other favorite recipes, too!

Oh this is my favorite non-dessert use of zucchini's... I love this recipe so much... I still have to find a Gluten Free way to make this...

4 cups zucchini, sliced
1 stick butter or margerine
1 small to medium onion, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup (8 ounces) of sour cream
1 box of Pepperidge Farms seasoned croutons

Boil zucchini just until tender, drain (if using zucchini you had frozen, just thaw it and drain very well, I found no need to cook it). In a large skillet, melt butter. Add carrots and onion and sauté until tender.

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and soup (right out of the can). Stir in the drained zucchini and half of the croutons and mix until croutons are coated. Pour into buttered 3 quart baking dish.

Top evenly with remaining croutons, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until hot.

I really like it grilled.

I know you said you made bread but did you make chocolate zuchinni bread?

We make this amazing carbonara recipe once a week or so. Beautiful Zucchini Carbonara A forewarning--it claims to be only 4 servings. It's more like 12. Even if we each eat two servings the first night--there are leftovers enough for another meal for everyone.

I have a few more recipes--I'll post them after dinner!

It's the soup and croutons, right?

Could you adapt this for the soup and just make GF croutons out of some GF bread??

My favorite thing is Zuchinni Pancakes.

Shredded Zuchinni
1 egg
Bisquick (or baking mix)
shredded cheese (cheddar works great)
a bit of onion
s/p to taste
milk
Combine zuchinni, cheese, onion in a bowl, add egg; mix well. Add enough baking mix & milk to make a pancake like consistancy. Cook like pancakes--eat hot, or cold...they have an issue about making it from pan to plate without being devoured. You can add bell peppers too if you like them, & garlic-sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

Sorry I don't have exact measures for you.

I also tried this, this past weekend with a combo of zuchinni & yellow squash, with mozzeralla & cheddar cheeses. YUM
