Delish In A Pinch

Stuffed Zucchini Boats

You asked and you shall receive! We had so many requests for this recipe!

When my son was born, and I entered the world of cooking and baking from scratch.

If the recipe calls for Tahini? I ground up sesame seeds.

Buttermilk? I churned up some butter from heavy cream and got the buttermilk.

I realized it’s easy to recreate with the right tools. Why am I telling you all this? This is also when the concept for weekly dinner menus was created in the Delish house.

I found it easier to grocery shop on a weekly basis around the weekly dinner menu. Full disclosure, the concept was alive eleven years ago, I would dabble in it, however, it took me a while to put the concept into fruition on a weekly basis. It always took me by surprise how easy it was and “what should we have for dinner tonight?” was not a discussion or a question that ate at my time. I am sure we have all spent time in that wormhole!

The Stuffed Zucchini boats were on our weekly dinner menu. I post a menu each week, for anyone looking for inspiration for their own dinner menus. Weekly dinner items can be from my own creations, restaurants, Chef Harvey and Food Safety Guru creations, magazines, books, cooking shows, etc. Remember, I have three harsh critics at the table so, it is the perfect time to get reviews.

We got the base of this recipe from the September 2021 issue of Food Network Magazine. Of course in the Delish kitchen, we added our own Pinch and made it our own.
