EASY STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS ARE THE PERFECT SUMMER TO FALL RECIPE

Easy stuffed zucchini boats are a healthy and delicious low carb meal. There is something so magical about zucchini! Do you know how many recipes you can make with zucchini? Not only is this vegetable super versatile, but it also tastes really good.

STAY TUNED FOR ZUCCHINI THEMED RECIPES HITTING THE BLOG ALL MONTH LONG!

One of my goals for this month and September is to show you guys all the ways you can utilize zucchini.

You can check out my easy peasy pumpkin zucchini bread here which is one of my favorite fall dessert recipes.

MINIMAL TIME, MINIMAL EFFORT MAKES SUMMER DINNERS EASY

One of my favorite things about my easy stuffed zucchini boats is that they take no time at all, and you can make them with the entire family.  You can also food prep them on a Sunday night and have prepped meals in the freezer for the rest of the week, which I think we all can appreciate during these hot August nights.

Stuffed Zucchini boats reheat really well! This summer recipe is perfect for those nights when it’s super hot outside and you can’t think of what to cook. 

When we made these for dinner, we ate this easy meal three nights in a row. It was that good! I love the simplicity of this recipe because it uses minimal ingredients and takes very little time.

There are several different ways you can make this recipe. You can add various veggies into your boats, use meat, or keep it completely vegetarian. You can also load them up with cheese, or leave out the cheese if that’s your jam. 

I like to load my zucchini boats with tons of fresh veggies like yellow squash, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, chopped carrots, onion, and garlic. I love adding leftover veggies that I need to use up in my fridge. Your fridge gets a nice clean sweep and you get a healthy recipe.

This makes for an easy fridge clean out dinner. We try to live by the waste not want not philosophy in our house and this recipe fits the bill.

Zucchini is my favorite Autumn vegetable and fits seamlessly into any recipe. You can make drinks, desserts, and even pasta with it!

ALL THE FUN PROJECTS ALL SUMMER LONG

Do you guys have any fun projects you are working on for the end of summer? As time permits, I have a slew of projects at Fitty Farmhouse that are keeping me busy this month.

One project that has really been a unique undertaking is my side yard. I haven’t really shared about it at all on IG stories or on here because I’m keeping it under wraps for the time being, but I can tell you this. It’s going to be pretty epic when it’s finished.

HARD WORK PAYS OFF

To give you all a small hint, I’m converting my side yard into a two-part fortress that is going to serve multiple purposes for the entire family and it will be an epic Zen spot when it’s done. A retreat so to speak only a few feet from my house. I can’t wait to share more details with you all.

I adore hard work and I’m happy that my yard goal dreams are finally coming to fruition. I’m all about manifesting, but with manifesting one must also include hard work and I’m happy to report that it’s all coming together. More updates coming to the Fitty Farmhouse section of the blog soon.

I love summer and although it’s almost Fall; I’m going to spend the rest of the month of August enjoying all the sun and all of the zucchini possible!

This iconic vegetable will be hitting the blog all month long! Stay tuned for all of the zucchini themed recipes coming your way.

Eat Beautifully!
