If your garden is anything like mine right now, you are absolutely drowning in zucchini. Every time I turn around, there is another massive green squash sitting on my counter, practically begging to be used. For years, I struggled to find ways to use it all up without my family groaning about having the same veggie again. But let me tell you, I have finally cracked the code.
I have spent countless hours in my kitchen testing, tweaking, and perfecting these recipes so that zucchini is not just a filler vegetable, it is the star of the show. From crispy, cheesy bites that disappear before they even hit the dinner table, to hearty, comforting casseroles that my husband Ken actually asks for by name, this collection is my ultimate survival guide for summer squash season. I have even snuck it into some incredibly moist, decadent baked goods that will completely fool your kids. If you are tired of the same old soggy veggie sides and want to transform that mountain of squash into meals your family will actually devour, you are in the right place. Grab your grater, and let us get cooking!
