whatta coincidence! i just made zucchinis for lunch! although i'm a veggie lover, there are lots of ways to get around plain old veggies. try marinading them in a zesty sauce, or cooking them in a buttery sauce with kemon juice. you can slice them thinly, and put them on sandwiches. you can chop them up into slivers, and add them to a pasta sauce and put over your favorite pasta.
never made zucchini cake but tasted some before, yum!

you could always throw it in some sort of chili or soup..mmm. as long as you use a variety of other ingredients, it comes out pretty great. also, it makes a kickass stuffing for portabello mushroom caps (along with some tomatoes/onions/garlic/italian spices). even get some pasta, toss it with a bit of olive oil, crushed garlic and other veggies for a vegan primavera-ish dish. these recipes might not necessarily hide the zucchini but they go well.

Take any nonvegan zucchini bread recipe, substitute psyllium husk (1/4 tsp +1/4 c h2o)for egg, use soymilk and fake butter, grate the zuke with a food processor and you're fine.
