Squash & Zucchini are amazing in so many recipes. Want a quick curry? Squash + veggies + spices & rice. Want to thicken up a big soup? Add zucchini and let it cook down into nothing but added flavor and thickness.

And if you want to go another route, you can make any vegetable into wine.

I blame cheap carbs and lack of education around cooking; we need to bring back Home Economics classes and teach the new generation.

Noodles made from zucchini are delicious. Highly recommend.

Zucchini is great but it's kind of hard to eat 1 zucchini a day for 4 months straight (the consequence of growing a single plant).

If you're just eating it sure, but throwing it into some chili, or stew you'll hardly notice it.

1 zucchini is nothing. It shrinks a lot when fried for a while.

No kidding. They are 95% water. (Actual figure.)

Then eat the blossoms before they turn into actual zucchinis. Mexicans have enough recipes to keep you busy for 4 months straight.

Flor de Calabaza (zucchini flower) quesadillas are so underrated.
