"Every summer no matter how few plants we plant it seems like we have too much zucchini and yellow squash. Since the neighbors don't like it when we leave it on their doorsteps, I've had to come up with ways to get my family to eat it. This is me and my husbands' favorite way." - Lynelle
"In-season zucchini, yellow squash, and butternut squash are smothered with a homemade cream sauce and tossed with vegetables. It’s filling and comforting! This cheesy pasta is the perfect thing when you are craving comfort food and is surprisingly light for a baked pasta dish." - Paula
"These fritters will be amazing if they're made with shredded zucchini or summer squash. Easy to prepare, they're a tasty afternoon snack. The outer edges are crispy and the center stays soft." - Kitchen Crew
"This was my mom's recipe. She is now passed but has given me the knowledge of cooking, baking, and preparing meals for large amounts of family. I was the only girl growing up with 5 brothers. My mother and I were always in the kitchen cooking for my dad and five brothers. I guess I was her sous chef. This recipe was always a hit at functions." - Laura
"Zucchini season is here and that means that I am enjoying a lot of recipes that use them and my current favourite are these zucchini turkey meatballs in marinara sauce. Adding zucchini to ground meat, like ground turkey, helps keep it nice and moist and it adds that hidden, healthy, vegetable to the meal!" - Kevin
"It's quick and easy to prepare. Make a great side dish to many of your summer BBQ favorites. Or, as the main dish on a hot evening, served with a fresh green salad and some crusty whole-grain bread!" - Cheryl
"We were very impressed by this zucchini recipe. It's a great way to use the extra bits of ingredients you may have in the fridge. Really, this could be served for any meal. It was like a breakfast casserole in a zucchini boat." - Kitchen Crew
"My Grammie (Roberta Campbell) used to make this all the time. We always had zucchini growing in the garden. 2 things you could plan on eating was fried zucchini and zucchini bread. When making this recipe it always reminds me of my Gram and how she was always in the kitchen cooking something good." - Kim
"A twist on zucchini bread... the blueberries almost steal the show!" - Pattie
"My new favorite way to enjoy pasta night with the family! I can twirl my zoodles while they slurp their noodles." - Dawn
"Fresh Zucchini Tart is a simply delicious tart filled with the best produce summer has to offer. Fresh Zucchini Tart starts with an easy pre-made crust, topped with zucchini then smothered with cheese. What’s not to love about this savory tart?" - Paula
"This is a side dish my husband threw together and it goes great with some nice grilled steaks. The aroma and the flavors are so wonderful! Even our picky eater enjoys it. I love the nights he cooks." - Sue
"One morning, I asked my husband if he would mind stuffed zucchini for dinner AGAIN. He replied that he would rather have spaghetti and meatballs. So, I combined his request with my need to use my bountiful harvest and he loved it." - Carol
"This is a flavorful, moist bread that disappeared extremely fast!" - Lena
"Crispy zucchini chips crusted in Panko bread crumbs with parmesan and lemon zest that are fried or baked until nice and crispy served with a basil aioli." - Kevin
"You know you have a good recipe when your hubby asks you to make it and share it with others. A healthy recipe that, to me, tastes better every day after you make it. It keeps getting better and better. Very moist and the walnuts add a special touch." - Patricia
"This quick and easy side dish is going to be amazing with grilled chicken or hamburgers this summer. The combination of flavors from the garlic, basil, and cheese blend well with the roasted zucchini and squash." - Kitchen Crew
"My family loves spaghetti but I always make too much pasta. This is a great way to use that extra pasta. It's also a great way to get those vegetables into picky eaters. My kids love it because it's so cheesy." - Nancy
"Bursting with fresh lemon flavor, we really loved this vegetable stir-fry. Filled with zucchini, bell pepper, mushrooms, carrots, and broccoli, it's just as good (and easy) as picking up take out." - Kitchen Crew
