Zucchini Lasagna

Here's another tip for using up your extra lasagna (ZUCCHINI - this is why you shouldn't blog while in a hurry)and it's pretty easy!

Lightly brown zucchini slices in a skillet with olive oil, and use the zucchini in place of all or part of your lasagna noodles, while you're layering your lasagna.

Healthy too.

Zucchini Brownies

This is definitely a kid approved use for zucchini. 
We made these today and they were quite yummy.




 The recipe comes from allrecipes.com.  I did omit the walnuts and since I was feeling kind of lazy we used canned frosting but it was still delicious. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
•  
• 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Fold in the zucchini and walnuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched. To make the frosting, melt together the 6 tablespoons of cocoa and margarine; set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, blend together the confectioners' sugar, milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in the cocoa mixture. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
