1) Zucchini Waffles

I know, it sounds weird. However, these are not waffles that you're going to smother with butter and maple syrup. Remember when we did the Pizza Waffles? It's basically like that, but with grated zucchini and another secret ingredient. Click the video above to see what it is!

2) Zucchini Sandwich Cookies

You've heard of zucchini bread and other desserts that incorporate zucchini and this one is no different. I admit - it feels a little weird adding grated zucchini to the mixing bowl along with brown sugar and butter, but if Pinterest says it's a "thing"... it's a thing!

3) Zucchini Cocktail

Oh yeah, I went there. I figured if we are going to go for it, we better go for it and that includes our Cocktail of the Week. This is a great way to use all the liquid that you squeeeeeze out of your zucchini after you grated it for the two recipes above. Who doesn't love a vodka soda... with vegetables?
