    That is the coolest thing. It says you can spiral squash and sweet potatoes. I like the idea of spiral zucchini

    I have one, not really impressed, you need somebody to hold it in place while you use it cause it refuses to stick to the counter & I found it useless for making half the things it supposed to "Be absolutely wonderful for making" curly fries? Uh no.. Potato spirals.. No, yam/sweet potato anything.. No!!! etc etc.. OK for z'kinni noodles but not a whole lot else (and that was for the one with the best-est rating on amazon) Next time im going to look for a steel top feeding type as I suspect it would work much better... at least I wouldn't need hubby to hold the &%$^& thing whenever I need noodles

    Granny's Zucchini
    Slice about 1 medium sized zucchini per person and one medium to large onion for every 2 zucchini. Heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, wide pan. Add the onions & zucchini along with 1-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped. Cover and cook 5-10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the vegetables become translucent and limp. Remove the cover and stir in grated Parmesan. How much is up to you. We adore it with about a cup of Parmesan to 5 or 6 zucchini, but often make it with far less in the interests of diet or pocketbook. You can, BTW, add tomatoes to this.

    On the Grill: Put the zucchini, onion & garlic on a large piece of heavy duty foil. Sprinkle with the olive oil & finely chopped garlic. Roll and seal the seams to make a leak-proof packet. Grill about 40 minutes, turning several times. Add cheese just before serving.

    I took Moto's zucchini pizza recipe and simplified it.

    2 C grated zucchini
    1 egg
    Italian seasoning (oregano, sage, thyme, dash marjorum)
    Garlic minces or use garlic powder
    pepper to taste (i add a short shake of cayenne and black)
    1/2 cheese (i mix mozzerella and parmisan)

    bake in oven on oiled parchment paper @ 400 for 30 min

    The key to cooking with no flour is to get all the excess moisture out of the grated zucchini

    Squeeze with your hands then put in a colander to drain for a couple of hours before you mix in egg and seasoning into the zucchini. You can of course, just continue to sqeeze with your hands but im lazy and never in a hurry when i cook. Pat out into individual servings for mini pizzas and serve with sauce and topping of your choice. I freeze extra's with a layer of wax paper in between.

    Creamy Zucchini Soup
    2 lbs zucchini, about 4-5, chopped, but leave peel on for color
    ¾ cup onion, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tablespoon butter, ghee or olive oil
    1 tsp salt
    3 cups chicken stock
    ¼ cup packed fresh basil leaves

    Cook the onion and garlic in butter/ghee for about 3-5 minutes in a soup pot over medium low heat. Add the zucchini and salt, turn the heat to medium and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in basil. Puree with an immersion blender or pour into a blender. This also freezes well

    AND its KETO friendly.

    I did have to add some more spice to this recipe because i like spicy soups. But the basic recipe is good

    Someone gifted me a vegetable spaghetti maker. It is the manual one and very easy. Tonight I made my first batch of zucchini spaghetti.

    IMG_3790.JPG

    Dinner:

    Chunked up some pre-cooked spicy chicken sausage
    Spaghetti'ed 3 zucchinis
    Tossed it all in a pan with some olive oil and then added about 2 Tbsp of Trader Joe's Asian style spicy peanut vinaigrette.
    Cooked on low for a bit and dinner was done. Healthy, quick and simple plus everyone really liked it.

    * the zucchini is watery so I had to drain a bit of liquid.

    3. Zucchini Pasta Skewers
    People sometimes mistakenly think of zucchini as a bland, watery, and under-seasoned side dish. Needless to say, we completely disagree. The reason that so many recipes call for zuke is that it's delicious, affordable, and super versatile – you can turn it into zoodles, use it as a base for a cake, or fry it up for a zucchini latke. But you've probably never had a zucchini skewer before, right? And we're not using wood, either – the skewer is actually made out of linguine! Get the recipe for the Zucchini Pasta Skewers.
