Hey veggie lovers (or veggie-tolerators, I don’t judge), It’s that magical time of year when zucchinis are multiplying faster than rabbits. They’re in your garden, your neighbor’s garden, and—let’s be honest—probably on your porch in a mystery basket right now. Don’t panic! I've got four foolproof ways to turn that green overload into something delicious, plus an extra special tip for any extra zucchini you have on hand this summer. 1. Zucchini Goes South of the BorderThis sautéed Mexican Squash dish is fast, fresh, and goes great with tacos or a margarita (or two). 2. Zucchini for BreakfastChocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins are the sneaky-veggie treat your kids won’t stop asking for. 3. Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini ChipsThese Air Fryer Zucchini Chips are crunchy, snackable, and dangerously addictive. No guilt, all crunch! 4. Hibachi Veggies at HomeZucchini shines in these Easy Hibachi Vegetables—perfect alongside grilled meats, noodles, or just a splash of soy sauce and rice. One last tip before I go....Have even more zucchini to use up? Roast your zucchini until golden, then toss it in a blender and bam!—you’ve got a silky veggie puree that sneaks beautifully into spaghetti sauce. More nutrients, fewer picky eaters noticing. You're welcome! Enjoy your summer veggies! I know I am. Michelle
