We overplanted our zucchini and yellow squash this year so we've been trying to use it up. Here are some ideas for using it up.
Shred it and use it in zucchini bread or cake
Shred it and freeze it to use later in zucchini bread or cake
Have your kids hold a fresh organic produce and lemonade stand with the extras. We've done this in town where Grandma lives and they've earned a little $ and gotten rid of some of it.
Eat it as a baked, stuffed zucchini recipe. We boiled it for around 20 minutes until it was somewhat cooked and then halved it and scooped out the insides and mixed it with cooked ground sausage, parmesan cheese, fresh bread crumbs, garlic salt etc.. and it was quite good.
Grill it when you grill meat. To make it even better, first marinade it in Italian salad dressing. I cut it lengthwise into sticks and grilled it like that - much simpler than doing a bunch of little circles on the grill!
Feed it to the baby. My 11 month old loves it. It's nice and soft and easy to eat when cooked!
Give it away - especially offer some to moms with babies!
Most of all, enjoy this fresh produce! Even though it seems like we'll be eating zucchini and yellow squash every meal forever, fall and winter are coming fast! Soon it will be all done until next summer!
