August 8th is "Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day"! So, not only can you give away a big basket of zucchini, you can create some new snacks and meals with our ideas below!

1. Zucchini Spaghetti
I have a spiralizer and absolutely LOVE it! If you are not familiar with this, it's a gadget that turns vegetables into long spirals, almost like spaghetti. Our favorite is zucchini and believe it or not, you eat the zucchini noodles raw! It's not only nutritious but also delicious! We like it two ways: 
  • Scrumptious Spaghetti and Meatball Dinner: Make your favorite spaghetti sauce (or use one from a jar), add browned, ground beef or meatballs and heat. Pour the hot sauce over the raw zucchini noodles and top with grated Parmesan cheese.... yummm! 
  • Chicken or Shrimp Alfredo: Make Alfredo Sauce (or use one from a jar), add cooked chicken strips or shrimp and heat. Pour hot sauce over raw zucchini noodles and top with shaved Parmesan Cheese! 
2. Carrot and Zucchini Muffins

3. Zucchini Lasagna

4. Zucchini Cookies

5. Mini Zucchini Pizza: 
cut zucchini into 1/4" disks, top with pizza sauce and cheese, bake at 350 until tender.
