What Can I Make With Zucchini?
My in-laws have a pretty decent sized vegetable garden and are growing yellow squash and zucchini in it (among plenty of other vegetables). Apparently it’s Zucchini season and I just came home with a huge bag of these yummy vegetables. I’m going to cook up a big batch of them with some onions, canned diced tomatoes and some italian seasoning and serve everything over rice for dinner tonight.
I’m just not sure what to do with the rest of them. Do you have any good recipes for zucchini? Do you know of any dishes that would also freeze well? I appreciate your input.

The question is what can’t you make with zucchini! You can grate this moist vegetable into muffins or any bread recipe if you want to hide it from the kids. But I really love the taste of zucchini so much that I prefer it in casseroles. One of my favorites is this Zucchini and Fish Casserole:
1.Cut up a nice big onion into chunks
2.Cut up a green pepper into chunks
3.Cut a couple small or one large zucchini in chunks (don’t peel it!)
4.Layer the onion, green pepper and zucchini and casserole dish.
5.Pour about 1/2 can diced tomatoes (use one with extra spices if desired) over vegetables. Grate a clove of garlic over tomatoes.
6.Lay about 1 pound of any good solid fish over the tomatoes and pour the rest of the tomatoes over the top.
7.If you want, you can add a little shredded cheese on top or a bread crumb/butter mix for a little crust. Or add both! It’s all good!

I like to make zucchini with ground meat or turkey, diced onions, diced bell pepper, and fresh tomatoes. Just slice the zucchini and combine in a pan all the ingredients above, cover, season as desired, and cook on low to medium-low. Serve it over rice. This is a very healthy meal and my family loves it!
