Any ideas for all of this zucchini and squash?

I have tons of green zucchini and yellow summer squash. We've already made a couple batches of zucchini bread/muffins and put some of the muffins in the freezer. I've shredded up both the zucchini and the squash to add to pasta sauce and I'm making a yummy looking goat cheese and summer squash pizza for dinner tomorrow (here if anyone is interested: https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/lemony-zucchini-goat-cheese-pizza/ )

I still have tons of the stuff left. Any other ideas for using it all up, especially the yellow squash? Can I shred it up and use it to make zucchini bread just like the green stuff? I don't want any of it to go to waste since I spent too much money getting the garden in place this year, but I'm running out of ideas...

  • We make quesadillas with yellow squash, zucchini, carrots and mushrooms.  They are awesome.

    My mom makes a really good summer squash casserole.  I want to say the recipe came from the Food Network.

  • Squash tastes really good in homemade mac&cheese. My son rarely can tell the difference. (still need you add some cheese, just not as much as normal) We also do squash & cheese sanwhiches. (basically grilled cheese w/squash on it)

  • We love to grill zucchini and squash when we BBQ.  Marinade in olive oil with some salt and pepper (other seasonings if you like) and grill directly on the BBQ, sliced lengthwise.  Great with steak or chicken.

  • We substitute squash and/or zucchini for meat in spaghetti or baked ziti. Sometimes I do spaghetti with chicken, red sauce, and half a block of cream cheese with lots of squash chopped up in it. Soooooo good!

    My MIL makes squash casserole that it really good. I don't have the recipe, but I'm sure you could find one online. 

    I also like them just marinated in italian dressing and grilled.

  • I was going to suggest that goatcheese pizza from smitten kitchen ;)  My H will slice up squash, zukes, onions and sausage, put them on skewers and grill them while patting Italian dressing on them.  They.are.amazing.  We'll also slice them up as a side for lunch with some ranch dressing for dip.  The kids love em :)

    If you're not all muffin-ed out, these are a huge hit around here.

    I also have a stuffed zucchini recipe somewhere, with a filling of tomatoes and raisins and pine nuts. If you're interested, I'll see if I can find it.
