A pile of zucchini and summer squash on a countertop.

Earlier this week, I chatted with my friend Margaret Roach, the master gardener behind A Way to Garden and author of the award-winning book, A Way to Garden, all about farm shares and the unique problems farm share subscribers face.

In our chat, we discuss strategies for dealing with our weekly hauls and share favorite ways to prepare the one vegetable you cannot have enough creative recipes for this time of year: summer squash.

After I hung up the phone with Margaret, I felt inspired to branch out and immediately tried two new recipes, both of which I cannot recommend enough: this simple zucchini sauté over on Smitten Kitchen (so fast! pictured below) and these zucchini tortillas, which are baked, made with four ingredients, and happen to be gluten-free. I’ve rounded up 20 more zucchini recipe ideas below.

You can listen to our chat or read the transcript over on A Way To Garden, where you can also leave a comment to enter a giveaway: Margaret is giving away a copy of my book, Bread Toast Crumbs.
