Farmers Market Bounty - Zucchini

This past weekend at the farmers market I went over load on Zucchini’s!  

My original idea was to get enough zucchini to make this Zucchini and Black Bean Skillet!  
I have made it before and it is easy, delicious and comes together in minutes!  Plus the leftovers are great to take for lunch!  However with my abundance of zucchinis I decided I needed to go on a hunt for more recipes where I could incorporate this wonderful vegetable!  Here is what I have decided!

1-      Vegetable Packed Zucchini boats! 


I made these for dinner on Monday and they were absolutely delicious!  I am all about stuffed vegetables for dinner (there are about a million stuffed pepper recipes on the blog) so I was happy when these stuffed zucchinis turned out so well!  I didn't follow this recipe to a "T" in fact my stuffed zucchini came out more mexican style!  I used leftover refried beans, peppers, onions, tomatoes and salsa to give my zucchini boats kick!  Here are a few other tasty stuffed zucchini recipes I found around the Web!

2-      Zucchini Muffins

This is one of my favorite quick breads it always reminds me of my child hood!  And this Cooking Light recipe always turns out delicious.  I blogged about these muffins a while ago here and I highly recommend making them for either a quick breakfast on the go or a quick snack! 

And last but not least –only because I am obsessed with Cupcakes! 
Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes from Taste of Home!
