25 ways to use zucchini!


August 8th is National Sneak Zucchini onto Your Neighbors Porch Day!  
It's a lot harder nowadays with camera doorbells and such to do that, so why not find some great recipes to use it up instead? Here are 25 ways to use up that bounty of green goodness! 


 Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes

 Chocolate cupcakes with zucchini AND carrots! That practically makes them health food, right?
 
The saucy, cheesy, pepperoni goodness of pizza, along with a nice healthy platform of zucchini.


 

Thin Mint Zucchini Bread 

My husband claims to hate zucchini, but this always disappears when I make it!
 
These are excellent on their own or make a great base for BLTs.

Zucchini Chocolate Cake

Just the perfect little forkful! The cake is so light and fluffy and (sorry!) moist. 



 

Zucchini Raisin Cookies  

If you don't like raisins, chocolate chips or dried cherries work great too!

 

Grilled Zucchini & Pesto Pizza

Love pizza on the grill and this one is loaded with great stuff!

 
One of my favorite summer meals, they freeze and reheat great as well. 
 
Great for breakfast or snack! I prefer dark chocolate chips or morsels, my guys like semi sweet. 

 

 

Zucchini Carrot Muffins 

Packed with all kinds of deliciousness, these muffins are great for breakfast, lunch or snack!
 

 

Zucchini Banana Bread

 I've always got a few bananas stashed in the freezer and this bread is great with either cinnamon or chocolate chips or walnuts!

 

Zucchini Pico de Gallo Salsa 

 Is it salsa, is it pico de gallo? Just call it delicious!

 
 

Italian Sausage Marinara with Penne 

Filling but not heavy, and super easy to make!
 
 
 

Orange Blueberry Zucchini Muffins

  Just look how chock full of deliciousness these are! The zucchini almost disappears into them, which is great for non-veggie lovers.  It has a nice orange flavor and the nutmeg gives it that little extra something.
 
 
 I'm pretty sure the fruit in these makes these perfectly acceptable for breakfast.

 

Fudgy Zucchini Brownies

 Cake-like base and a frosting so good you could just eat it by the spoonful!
 
 

Parmesan Zucchini Bread

 This one works with yellow squash too, goes great with pasta.
 
 

Arrabbiata with Zucchini Noodles

 Arrabbiata. The word means angry in Italian, but I promise you won't be mad at this dish!
 
 

Cherry Vanilla Zucchini Bread 

 One last zucchini bread, but this one may be my favorite, I love anything cherry!

 

Zucchini Panzanella Salad

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
