Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
We slice zukes, yellow squash, sweet onions, tomatoes, layer them in a baking dish with a sprinkle of Tony Chacheres. When cooked 30-40 minutes, sprinkle crispy bacon bits over the top. You can layer swiss cheese on top if you like but we have dropped that for calorie reasons.
Wash then slice them in half the long way. Brush both sides of each piece with italian dressing or with olive oil and whatever dry seasonings that you prefer. Grill them along with your meat. They just take a few minutes on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side for small zuchini and a minute or two more for bigger ones. I'll usually put them on just before my steak or other meat is done. This also works great with yellow squash.

I got this recipe from Paula Deen's show. (Relax, there is no butter in it. ) It is so simple and so delicious. It tastes like soup you would get at a nice restaurant. I serve it with garlic butter bread sticks. It is a hit at our house.
Italian Chicken Vegetable Soup
1.75 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces.
2-Tbsp. olive oil
1-cup sliced carrots
1-small onion, chopped
2 1/2 cups zucchini, cut into bite sized pieces
2-cans chicken broth
2-cans diced tomatoes with garlic, oregano, and basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a dutch oven or soup pot. Add chicken and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add onions and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add zucchini, chicken broth, salt and pepper, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, lower temperature, and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve.
(I added just a touch of cornstarch at the end of the cooking time to thicken slightly)
This is my favorite zucchini recipe,cooks in the microwave,and doesn't heat up the kitchen,
Zucchini Parmesan
4 medium zucchini,sliced into 1 inch pieces (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1.In 8 inch round baking dish combine zucchini,parmesan cheese and tomato
sauce. Cook covered on high in microwave for 8 to 9 minutes until zucchini
is tender,stirring once.
2. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and let stand covered 5 minutes before
serving. Makes about 4 servings
note: I sometimes add 1/2 t.Italian seasoning or oregano
Halve the zucchini long-ways and remove the seeds from each half. Place each half in a baking dish and fill the hollowed-out cavity with marinara or pasta sauce. Cover and bake at 350 until done. You can be creative and add sausage, hamburger, mushrooms, spices, onion, whatever to the sauce and can top with parmesan or other favorite cheese and broil until the cheese is browned.
