ZUCCHINI YOGURT MULTIGRAIN MUFFINS
I tried finding a recipe to get my picky toddler to eat her vegetables. Since I couldn't find a healthy one, I came up with this. Using one cup carrots and one cup zucchini is a nice way to get both the yellow and green veggies into the diet! Any type of nuts, raisins, etc. may be used in the recipe -- whatever is on hand and toddler approved.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease 24 muffin cups.
- In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, vegetable oil, applesauce, yogurt, sugar, honey, and vanilla. Mix the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the zucchini, carrots, pecans, and raisins. Scoop into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH GARLICKY YOGURT SAUCE
There are two different preparations of zucchini here: spiralized and grilled. If you don't have a grill, you can just roast your zucchini or sauté them in a pan, but if you don't have a spiralizer, you're going to want one just for this. It's an amazing kitchen tool, one you can have the most fun with.

Steps:
- Zucchini slices: Cut 1 zucchini into ¼-inch rounds, place in a bowl, and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Heat a grill pan to medium-high; cook zucchini until there's a slight char on either side. Set aside.
- Zucchini "noodles": Trim the ends off the remaining zucchinis, cut them in half vertically, and use a spiralizer to make long ribbons, yielding 8 cups of zucchini "noodles." Set aside.
- Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, add remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic. Once the garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute), turn the heat to low. Add the labneh and water; stir slowly, incorporating everything thoroughly. Season with a few pinches of salt, and allow mixture to slowly cook. Chop herbs and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted, boiling water to al dente (should take less than 3 minutes). Drain and add to the sauce, along with the zucchini noodles and chopped herbs; salt to taste. Mix well so the zucchini noodles and pasta are evenly sauced.
- Assemble the dish: Add the zucchini and pasta noodles to a serving dish; arrange the grilled zucchini slices around the edge. Finish with lemon juice, a bit of salt, and a mint sprig or two. Serve immediately.
ZUCCHINI-LENTIL FRITTERS WITH LEMONY YOGURT
These crispy zucchini fritters take inspiration from the Bengali onion snack piyaju. Soaked and blended red lentils make up the batter, which is spiked with turmeric and chile powder.

Steps:
- Lemony yogurt:
- Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and sugar in a small bowl to combine. Season with salt.
- Do Ahead: Yogurt can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- Fritters:
- Rinse lentils, then soak in 2 cups water at room temperature at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. (Soaking the lentils makes them tender and a lot easier to blend.)
- Meanwhile, trim ends of zucchini and cut crosswise into 3 pieces about 2" long. Cut each piece lengthwise into ¼"-thick planks. Stack a few planks and slice lengthwise into ¼"-thick matchsticks (about the size of a skinny french fry). Transfer zucchini to a colander set in a medium bowl. Add onion and 1 tsp. salt and toss to combine. Let sit until vegetables look wilted and softened and about 1 Tbsp. liquid has released into bowl, 30 minutes to 2 hours. Gently pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Drain lentils and transfer to a food processor. Add chile powder, turmeric, and ¾ tsp. salt. Pulse, scraping down sides, until a purée forms. Transfer to a medium bowl and add zucchini and onion, parsley, and lemon zest. Toss with a rubber spatula to combine.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels; set a wire rack inside. Heat ghee in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high until a pinch of batter added to the pan sizzles and sputters. Using a large spoon, scoop out about ¼ cup batter, then use a second large spoon dipped in the hot ghee to carefully scrape into pan; flatten with ghee-coated spoon. Repeat to make 3 more fritters. Fry until deep golden brown underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn over with a wide slotted spatula and fry until deep golden brown on the second side, about 3 minutes. Transfer fritters to prepared rack to drain; season immediately with salt. Repeat with remaining batter (you end up with 8-10 fritters total).
- Transfer fritters to a platter. Serve with lemony yogurt alongside.
