They need using up, I was thinking maybe a courgette and potato soup. Does anyone know a naice recipe for it ?
Will 2 courgettes be enough ?
There is only me and the Dts who are 3.
I also have an aubergine and lots of peppers so could do something Mediterranean like. I would be really grateful for any other suggestions.
Preferably semi healthy as I am still kidding myself that I am going to lose weight this month Grin

I basically use the slimmingworld lemon, galric and
Chicken casserole which can be found on the slimmingworld website. However I use courgettes instead of green beans as I hate green beans and find the courgettes make the dish more to taste.

Lemon garlic and
chicken casserole.

Yes I like the sound of a lemon chicken casserole. I have never made a nice one, it always looks like cat sick. Sad

Bootoyou2 I'm a bit late but how long do you cook the double cream topped dish? How do you know it's done? Sounds lovely :)

They all look lovely. Lots of things I wouldn't even thought of trying.
I am inspired to grow some courgettes this year.

Courgette and pasta soup, make it with small shell or star pasta, lovely for children.
Or just grate and toss in butter with some crushed garlic for a few moments, a very quick and easy veg, especially good with fish or chicken.
Or use in a frittata, for a quick lunch dish.

Fritters with feta, that's DD1's idea if heaven.

She's always getting me to buy feta and that's a way if using the same stuff I'd like too.

I always use them mostly in my lasagne or lemon chicken casserole. Their flavour is bought out at its best when you frylight them first with peppers and onions. Lovely for the taste buds. Also very healthy :)

Cripes! I just remembered I've still got a huge one in the garage that I picked in October. Hate to think what state it's in now.

Courgette and Boursin soup?
Gently fry chopped courgette and onion, add veg stock just to cover and simmer for 20 mins. Then blend till fairly smooth. Reheat and add the Boursin, stir till melted, & serve.
