Recipes to make with Zucchini

Stopping at farm stand on the long weekend to pick up some delicious corn on the cob, I yelled to the hubs to grab a zucchini. There had been a zucchini recipe I had my eye last year, but zucchini season came and went and I didn’t get a chance to try it. Hubs came back to the car with this bad boy! (err…the zucchini not the kid)

Yup, this was going to be a lot of zucchini! After making an 11×15 sized cake and a dozen muffins, I still had almost 3/4 of the zucchini to use up! I was definitely going to need some more ideas on what to make with zucchini. I put a shout out to my kitchen savvy blogger friends to see what zucchini recipes were their favourites to whip up. In case you were looking for some zucchini recipe inspiration as well, I’ve rounded up a few clever ways to create with your zucchini’s this year!

The cake I mentioned above was actually from Mommy Kat and Kid’s, it was the recipe that inspired the need for the zucchini in the first place and it is delicious! We dove into it last night and it was a hit! The icing is soooo good!

    I am so glad you liked that cake! It is my must-make with zucchini every year, but now that I saw those feta zucchini boats and the zucchini chips I may have to add some more recipes to my repertoire! Awesome roundup!

      we made the zucchini boats last night! delish!! the chips were good too, I thought I would only like zucchini disguised in baking but as it turns out, it’s not so bad! lol

  2. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! This post has me so hungry! Guess what I just picked from our garden tonight? 8 (yes, EIGHT) zucchinis!!! I think I’ll be making chocolate zucchini brownies and zucchini fritters this weekend!

      wow 8 is a lot to use up! I want to head back to farm stand to grab another one so I can freeze some zucchini for winter baking!

  3. WOW! That’s a huge zucchini! LOL! I’ve heard of brownies and desserts with zucchini in them, but haven’t tried them yet. These recipes looks tasty though!
