Zucchini recipes?

Anyone have any recipe's in which to use zucchini or summer squash. I want to use ingredients laying around the house. Would like to make some zucchini bread, but do not have any baking powder in the house. I do have all the other ingredients, however. We did grill some on the grill last nite, but i would like to try other recipes. Thanks alot!

    Yellow Summer Squash *****

    wash your squash and onions to prevent cross contamination, then peel the onion and cut the squash ...

    brown some smallish pieces of onion in a little butter, then add a pinch of coriander powder and brown it just a second or two, add a nice amount of yellow squash cut to your liking, brown it just a little then add water to steam it up, and cover it until just done.....really nice on a summer evening, especially nice with brown rice or bulgur cooked plain and served neat...

    Zucchini *****

    1. wash zucchinis; slice them on the diagonal

    and deep fry them in 2" of hot olive oil until just brown and crispy .... serve either hot or cool ...

    (found these in a bar in Venice, Italy)

    2. wash zucchinis and large ripe tomatoes, put into a saucepan 2T olive oil, as soon as it is nice and hot, turn down the heat, make a layer of pieces of zucchini (cut it lengthwise in 1/2" slices then cut 4" pieces of those), and make a layer of thickly sliced tomato and drizzle a very small amount of olive oil on top.... cover with a lid and cook gently until 3/4 done, carefully turn it all over on the other side to finish (from Provence) ..////.serve with country bread and a cheese custard: make a custard as for Quiche, put in some grated cheese like cheddar, a pinch of fresh (Greek!) oregano. and bake it ... maybe a little red wine ....

    3 wash and shred zucchini and add it to a savory crepe batter (no sugar or brandy, that is) ...serve with a fresh soup, or as is as an appetiser or side to a meal.. can put some shredded cheese, like a Monterey Jack or a sharp cheddar, onto the crepes, fold them up and eat them out of hand ...

    4 beat an egg and add to it a heaping tablespoon of all-purpose flour, a nice pinch of Parmesan and a touch of coarse salt and white pepper, fold in a generous amount (a cup, say) of zucchini which you have washed, shredded into boiling water and let blanch for about a minute, then drained and squished against the side of a sieve to remove all the excess water .. ... /// fry flattened spoonfuls of it in 1/4" of hot olive oil, both sides until nice and brown .... serve ..

    5 wash and shred zucchini, add to a frying pan full of previously cooked brown rice with some mild onion first browned in a little plain oil (soy oil) ..... black pepper .... a very nice snack .... or an addition to dinner ....if you like, you could add some pieces of firm tofu or some pieces of Indian paneer, fried up a little first (or not, as you wish) ...then it is a full

    "Wasanabe" which is Japanese for "meal-in-a-dish" .... serve some soy sauce, that would be good ...

    6 wash med-large straight zucchinis and slice off 1/4" of two exactly opposite sides of each one (top & tail them, too), and slice down the middle exactly between the two cuts, scoop out a little of the center of each half with a small melon baller or with a little paring knife, put the scooped-out flesh into a bowl and mix it with a little butter or olive oil, bread crumbs, herbs and seasoning of your choice ....put the squashes, hollowed-sides up, onto a parchment lined baking sheet, fill the cavities with the crumbs mixture, drizzle on a little oil or a little melted butter ...and bake them until browned .... if you wish, you can blanch them before you stuff them for about 3 minutes in boiling water .....depends upon the size of the squash ...

    One of the women from church brought the best brownies I had ever had ( and I have had plenty ). I could tell by the texture and taste that they had to be homemade. Well, I was wrong. She took a brownie mix, she said any would do, but that she had used the one with the prepared frosting included. She prepared as directed, adding 2 cups shredded zucchini to the mix. You really have to try this. It's worth it!!!

    I love them grilled. I just slice them, toss them with some italian dressing and put them on the grill.

    They're great to eat right off the grill - but they are even better room temp or cold.. I usually will make a whole lot at a time and then put them on sandwiches, throw them on salads or eat them as snacks.

    If you have these indredients you could still make your bread its the best.

    HOMEMADE BAKING POWDER

    2 tbsp. cream of tartar

    1 tbsp. baking soda

    1 tbsp. cornstarch

    Sift ingredients together. Store in airtight container. One teaspoon of homemade baking powder is equal to one teaspoon of "Royal" baking powder.

    Have you ever sliced, breaded in egg/cracker crumbs and fried zucchini in it, very good
