Too Much Zucchini? 60+ Recipes Ideas Beyond Zucchini Bread

In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Stephanie and Kelly talk about what to do with all of the zucchinis you (or your neighbor!) are harvesting from your garden. We all love zucchini bread, but there is so much more you can do! We have a variety of sweet and savory recipes.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Betty Crocker’s zucchini bread
  • Hiding zucchini in brownies
  • Roasting zucchini
  • Making Calablacitas
  • Zucchini Gratin (can’t wait to try this recipe!)
  • And 60+ recipe ideas, including Zoodles, Stir-fry, Boats, Fritters, muffins, cakes, cookies, etc.
  • Plus a call-back to 2 previous episodes where Stephanie talks about Zucchini "Zuc" Coins and Zucchini Bake

About the Podcast

Everyday Cooks Recipe Club
Welcome to Everyday Cooks Recipe Club—a fun, no-pressure cooking podcast for home cooks of all levels who love discovering easy recipes, helpful kitchen tips, and the occasional hilarious cooking mishap. We’re Kelly and Stephanie, two friends who started a cooking club to make our dinners more exciting and now we’re inviting you to pull up a chair and join us.

Here’s the deal: Every month, one of us picks a recipe. It could be a cozy family favorite, a new dish we’ve never tried, or something that pushes us out of our comfort zone. We each make it in our own kitchens, navigating grocery shopping adventures, ingredient swaps, and plenty of “learning moments” along the way.

Then we get together to dish on:
~Why we chose it
~How the shopping went
~The steps that made us cheer, laugh, or groan
~The tweaks we’d try next time
~Whether it’s destined to become a weeknight staple or a one-time experiment

That’s our main monthly episode, a recipe deep dive with real talk about what worked and what didn’t. The rest of the month, you’ll get short and snackable episodes filled with quick meal ideas, time-saving cooking tips, kitchen gadget finds, and simple recipes you can make anytime. Think of them as the side dishes to our main course.

If you’re looking for a home cooking podcast that feels more like chatting with friends in the kitchen than watching a polished cooking show, you’re in the right place. We believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated, mistakes make the best stories, and every home cook deserves a little club of their own.

So grab your spatula, pour yourself something tasty, and hit play. Welcome to Everyday Cooks Recipe Club where we’re sharing recipes, tips, and laughs one month at a time, with plenty of delicious detours along the way.
