Happy Sunday!
1- Courgette Casserol prepared with fresh sauteed tomato, mushroom, basil, garlic, onion, Burgandy wine, and topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and veggie-based protein crumbles.
2- Courgette Salad with fresh tomatoes and onions marinated in a balsamic vinegarette
3- Courgettes sliced thin and baked in the oven until crisp (to be used as a side snack) (Maybe I'll put them on some homemade pizza later in the week)
Any other ideas?

I'll have some number 1 please, mmmmmmm sounds fabulous.
I'm interested in the crispy slices though, do they actually go crispy or do they stay kinda chewy, do you bake them really low so as not to colour????
So am I right in guessing you are a vegetarian - how do you get your protein in.
I'd be kinda tempted to make courgette muffins, you can substitute the sugar for splenda and half of the flour with ground almond - great for a sweet tooth but may be a bit high for carbs if you are low carbing it.
How about a pastry-less quiche. Beaten egg, cheese, grated courgette, maybe some roasted peppers and bake in greased pie dish - think I may do that for myself anyway, I'm an egg fiend
Yes, I am a vegetarian, but I do sometimes have meat occasionally, especially if my iron starts to go low. I'm not a vegan so I eat fish and different forms of veggie proteins, including tofu, beans, and some fairly good products here in the States. Not sure if you have Boca (not my favorite, but not bad), Morningstar Farms, and Gardein. I also eat eggs & cheese a few times a week.
One of the biggest sources of protein that I use is a whey isolate shake that is sweetened with Stevia. I use it in my coffee and mix it with Greek yogurt for at least one snack each day. It's locally manufactured and not available, as far as I know, except through a small homeopathic pharmacy that my husband and I use. Actually, I ran out and picked something else up. Tried it today, and I don't think I'll ever have it again!! BLAACHHH!!! Oh well, I'm sure I'll make due.
Off to work now. Have a great day.

On the Band Grads board we have an Italian chef! Very handy! He grows courgettes and recommends pie! I understand that Bisquick is a powdered scone mix, British readers!

This recipe sounds great! Thank you. I'm not much for using Bisquick though, but it does have its uses. I'm going to try it for one day next week.
Hubby's boss gave us a whole bunch more zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Planning on making cucumber and tomato salad marinated in balsamic vinegarette, soy sauce, and ginger. I'm going to make some homemade pasta sauce tomorrow for the pizza that I'm making tomorrow night. I generally make my own pizza dough. LOL can you tell that I love to cook?
Basic Pizza Dough

I did think of making the recipe for z pie (too high cal for me generally speaking!) but not using a packet mix - no idea whether we even have an equivalent to Bisquick over here. We don't go in for as many cake etc mixes here. There are quite a few out there in the supermarkets but nothing like as many as I saw in the US.
I planned to use my own scone (biscuit) recipe rather than a powder mix.

I often make cakes with ground almonds but had never used for anything else. Do you just subsitute it oz for oz for ordinary flour?
