I’m compiling a post to share next week. Would love to have your link! (Yes, I do know to cube it and freeze for soups or shred it and freeze for breads/cakes/muffins. I’m doing that… and I’m sharing… but I still have lots!)

I like to make stuffed zucchini- http://misadventuresofmub.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-version-of-stuffed-zucchini.html
Thanks for sharing those cupcakes/muffins!
I LOVE zucchini!!! As a side dish, we make it by cooking it until slightly tender, and topping it with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits
I have a Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe, I haven’t posted it yet, I’ll try and get it ready for you this week, soon.

I have heard of people making lasagna out of large zucchinis. Also, I will shred it and “hide” it (I say that loosely because my kids always know) in sausage rigatoni bake. Your cavatini would be a good place for it.
Vegetable Manicotti and Tuesday’s main dish and side on my menu uses zucchini. These were all good and a success in our house!
We also throw it is stir fry and it just takes the flavor of everything else.
Sorry, wrong link above…although that was good recipe also. Here is the Vegetable Manicotti.
I didnt post my menu this week (we’ve been out of town and today is my Hubby’s birthday; Just busy!). I make mini meatloaves too! Looks like a good week!
I’m a newbie here but had to share our zuchini meal we had last week.

I know we had a zucchini abundance this year also, so I was slipping zucchini in everything, from pasta, to soups etc. Hope you guys enjoy the Zucchini Quesadillas
I’ll send you Mock Crab Cakes with zucchini.
I just did a recipe search for muenster cheese (have an abundance leftover from party yesterday) and I came across this recipe for Italian Zucchini Crescent Pie…I know you were looking for new “zuke” recipes.

Here is a link for Corn-Breaded Zucchini. My made this for us when we were growing up. When I made it last week I used squash and it was equally delicious. Hope you like it. http://savinitup.blogspot.com/2009/07/corn-breaded-zucchini.html
I make an italian sauce for pasta in the crockpot. It has zucchini in it. We love it! If you are interested in the recipe send me an email.
Southern Living’s Vegetable Bacon Noodle Toss is one of my favorite way to use up garden veggies. We eat it hot or cold.
I made Zucchini Beef Skillet that I found on another blog and it was easy and delicious! See my blog for recipe link and pictures. I’ll keep checking your site as I think we’re all looking for new stuff to do with this abundant vegitable
