Squash/zucchini recipes

[pat fan]

I dice zucchini and yellow squash and put in a baking dish. Dice a red pepper and add to pan. Make sure it's a fairly large dish as you only want one layer, not a deep pan's worth. Drizzle with EVOO, add salt,pepper and garlic pdr and toss. Bake at 375º until done. Has a nice roasted flavor which I much prefer to the boiled zucchini my DH likes

I am trying to not eat bread stuff and we had sloppy joe's for supper last night so I just put my joe mix over some cooked zucchini. It was pretty good! I've done that with spaghetti sauce before too.

DH merely tolerated zucchini until this recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/903070/spice-rubbed-pork-chops-grilled-zucchini . Granted, the main recipe is for pork chops (which, incidentally are also AMAZING), but the grilled zucchini is to die for when combined with the feta. FWIW: I've also made it without the lime zest/wedges and it was still great. Basically, you cut zucchini lengthwise (lets you lay them across the grill for the char marks without it falling through), and toss it with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill on medium-high until tender, 2-3 minutes each side. Then you sprinkle some lime zest over it, sprinkle with feta and serve with lime wedges.

I just made this Tortellini Soup last night.
http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/tortellini-vegetable-soup-682394/
It calls for one zucchini, but I added a yellow squash as well and it was really good. I also added some minced garlic, just because everything's better with a little garlic.

I make zucchini lasagna, using the zucchini in place of where pasta goes... slice the zucchini lengthwise, about 1/4 inch think and use that as the "noodle"... then just layer just like you would normal lasagna... i use mushrooms, ricotta cheese, sometimes ground chuck or sausage and any type of spaghetti/marinara sauce... mozz cheese.

I dont even know what to call this, but its yummy (main meal):

Saute a pound of ground beef (90/10). - I prefer grass fed.

Add sliced/chucked zucchini (2 medium large or 1 very large).

1 clove garlic

Add diced tomatoes (I use a large can equivalent)

Add the following spices as desired to taste: oregano, basil, bay leaves, salt, pepper.

Saute for 5 min. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over. Put in baking dish. Bake for 30 min at 350. Serve with pasta.

Its DELISH (kind of like a meat sauce with not much tomato).

If recently been counting calories and visit
www.skinnytaste.com constantly. I've noticed she has a lot of zucchinni recipes. I made zucchinni casserole the other night two of my three picky children ate it. I loved it. Check out her site. In fact I think there is another zucchinni recipe on the front page today.

Skinnytaste.com has some great healthy recipes using zucchini. I have made the Zucchini Boats (sooo yummy!) and the Zucchini Sticks which are breaded and served with marinara sauce. Yummy!

I just looked at those they look yummy ! I am going to try them but I'm thinking of subbing leftover roasted chicken breast in place of the sausage .

I made the Zucchine Boats - I used turkey hot sausage instead of the chicken sausage - DH and I loved it!!! I used her marinara sauce too - excellent taste and quick to make too.
