Happy Thursday everyone. I know it totally should be Thirsty Thursday ;) but since I haven't had time to drink my way through creative cocktail concoctions, you'll just have to buy some wine for tonight and make something delish to go with it.Thirsty Thursday is a good idea though...hmm... ;)
So, after browsing through so many tasty looking recipes on here lately, I decided to get a little creative with what ingredients I had on hand here at my house. This is super simple, but tastes really really good. Here it it:
Baked Zucchini Boats
Ingredients:
Zucchini (I used five)
Ricotta cheese
Cheddar cheese - or any kind of shredded cheese blend
One can fire roasted diced tomatoes
Clean all the zucchini and then slice lengthwise.
Using a spoon scoop out the middle of the zucchini to make a 'boat'
spread ricotta cheese on the bottom, then top with tomatoes and then cheddar cheese.
Bake @ 375 for approx 45min-1hr.
I lost time there at the end, so I'm not exactly sure...I'm thinking it was about an hour total that it was in the oven. What I did was cook the zucchini in the same dish as my chicken breasts, and I just poured the rest of the tomatoes in with it. It was a really easy dinner that tasted like it was much harder to make ;).
Those look so good! I love zucchini but I've never tried something like this with them!

What a great idea! Hopping over from Inspiration Friday, and am totally inspired. I have two huge zucchinis from Farmers Markets this weekend (my own plants aren't doing much this dreary Alaska summer). I'd love if you hopped on over and said hi! xoxo

Stopping by to say Hi from the blog hop. Come visit sometime, tea is cold and no shoes are required. Kathy B. http://www.southernmadeintheshade.blogspot.com new follower
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, i will have to try this soon.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really yummy, and our 2 zucchini plants are producing like crazy, so I'm always looking for new recipes! Just an FYI -- our family used to live in the Willamette Valley (Tualatin to be exact) about twenty-eight years ago. Then the lure of sunshine, much less rain, and palm trees brought us to Arizona. Always fun to meet a fellow Oregonian!
