As a kid I spent a lot of time with my grandmother during the summer months, with my hands in the dirt, smelling of sunscreen and her beloved Diet Coke.

My gram's vegetable gardens were a thing of beauty - overrunning with tomatoes, herbs, winter squashes, berries, and loads and loads of zucchini!

Next to a classic tomato sandwich with a smear of mayonnaise on the perfect, soft sourdough bread, I always wanted to eat everything zucchini.

My grandma seemded to have no shortage of delicious zucchini recipes up her sleeve. The chocolate zucchini muffins for breakfast were my favorite!

As an adult my palate has expanded and I love eating zucchini no matter the season, no matter how it's prepared. Grilled, baked or fried, I'll take it all.

I now grow my own zucchini each season and love experimenting with different ways to use the famed summer squash once my haul is plucked.

These easy zucchini recipes are true favorites - ones we can't stop making on repeat. Give them a try! Your summer dinner menu has never tasted better.

(It's also great served with eggs for breakfast, too!)

Zesty zucchini noodles that are topped with the creamiest, herb-packed Greek yogurt and sun-dried tomato marinated chicken that you've ever tasted is essentially the perfect summer dinner. Fresh, bright, packed with protein and fresh veggies - what more could you ask for? A pile of zucchini noodles, deliciously roasted cherry tomatoes and a touch of parmesan equals total satisfaction. Something tells me you'll be making this one more than once.

4. Lemon Zucchini Bread Recipe

This light and not-so-sweet lemon zucchini bread is topped with a lemony glaze making it, arguably, the most perfect zucchini bread recipe of all the zucchini bread recipes. I'm aware that those are big words, but I stand behind every one. The combination of the lemon and zucchini screams of summer and comes together in a bread that is as great for a light dessert as it is for breakfast.

5. Grilled Stuffed Zucchini with Shrimp Recipe

The zucchini boats we all know and love got a facelift with these grilled stuffed zucchini boats packed with cauliflower rice loaded with herbs and fresh citrus flavors. Everything is then topped with shrimp that has first been tossed in honey and cayenne pepper before being grilled to charred perfection.
