Went to the store today. Stupid how high Walmart has jacked its food prices. But I digress.

Sunday lunch - not sure as we have church, and we're eating an early dinner;
Sunday dinner - dinner at Texas Roadhouse for MIL's birthday;
Monday lunch - tuna fish and chips;
Monday dinner - homemade hamburgers and chips or fries
Tuesday lunch - leftover hamburgers and chips;
Tuesday dinner - sloppy joes and tater tots;
Wednesday lunch - leftovers (DW), hot pocket or sandwich (for me)
Wednesday dinner - sausage wraps and rice (for DW) and veggies (for me);
Thursday lunch - leftover sausage wrap (DW); not sure for me because I work in downtown Dallas on Thursday;
Thursday dinner - crispy chicken sandwiches and baked beans;
Friday lunch - may eat out since it's payday;
Friday dinner - not sure yet

Also, not sure about breakfasts yet. We typically eat out for breakfast, but I did get eggs, bacon, biscuits, bagels, pop tarts, etc, so might start eating breakfast on the run.

Does anyone have a good Zucchini recipe? I have a LOT of it. I was thinking of just grilling with asparagus but there are only two of us. I know how to make zucchini chips, bread, crust less quiche and ratatouille. I’m looking for something new. Thanks

We enjoy zucchini boats.

You can make baba ghanouj with roasted zucchini - I tend to call it zaba ghanouj, but that's my own name for it. Just follow a regular recipe for eggplant subbing in zucchini, and it's a great dip.

Thank you all for the excellent suggestions. No way I'm going to be able to get through all these onions before they spoil - freezing is a great idea. Mixing the cocktail sauce with other spicy stuff should help the horseradish flavor blend it - will see how it goes!

Love zucchini! I like it in thai green curry (simmer whatever veggies you like in coconut milk with some curry powder or curry paste, serve over rice or noodles). Also like it stir fried with soy sauce, ginger, and whatever protein I have around and some red peppers. I also add it to sweet and sour chicken or pork.

If you have a spiralizer I find that zoodles freeze really well. When I cook fresh zoodles they are so watery, but the frozen zoodles are way less watery.

I don’t have one yet but it’s on the list!

I freeze onions and peppers all the time when they are on sale to make sausage and peppers (usually in the crockpot). They defrost well for any cooked preparation I've used them for so far.

I've probably posted these here before, but these are a couple of my go-to summer zucchini recipes:

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/2...ti-stanley-tucci-loves-spaghetti-alla-nerano/

https://thewoksoflife.com/chicken-zucchini-dumplings/

I also use zucchini in kung pao chicken. Basically, I blend the American and authentic recipes for kung pao chicken in Kenji Lopez Alt's The Wok cookbook (so, the more authentic sauce/sichuan peppercorns, but with veggies). It comes out as if Panda Express was good.
