Everything is better stuffed. Period.
So many of our recipes involve stuffing tasty food with more tasty food, that’s just the way we like it. For example, Stuffed Peppers, Stuffed Eggplant, Stuffed Mushrooms and now to today’s recipe, Stuffed Zucchini!
My favorite part about stuffed anything is that you can get creative with it and pretty much fill anything you want with whatever you like. Sound’s like a win-win, right!?
Well today’s stuffed zucchini is unlike any traditional stuffed zucchini that you’ve probably ever seen before, it’s pretty darn epic and made extra easy and special with Amy’s Kitchen Rice Mac & Cheeze!
If you’ve had Amy’s products before, you know how delicious and high quality they are, especially my favorite product which is this Vegan Mac & Cheeze. Don’t let the fact that this is vegan fool you, it tastes like actual macaroni and cheese and I like it even more!
Amy’s Kitchen asked us if we could make a recipes that focuses on fresh summer produce and using one of their amazing products for their current campaign #summerwithamys.
Of course I had to go with the Mac & Cheeze to make a recipe and make something stuffed. Zucchini has to be our favorite summer veggie hands down so we chose to do a stuffed zucchini and make a southwestern Mac & Cheeze filling using Amy’s Mac & Cheeze, fresh tomatoes, corn, avocado and chili powder!

Less utensils and more veg–why eat mac and cheese any other way!?! This is such a neat idea, you guys are always thinking outside the box over here 🙂 My favorite farmers market buy hmmm….probably either melons or blueberries!

That’s wonderful because zucchini is one of the most prolific, easy to grow summer veggies. These little boats are super cute, and I think kids would have a lot of fun eating them too. :o)

I love checking out the different bean and pea varieties at the Farmer’s Market.
My favorite thing to purchase at our Farmer’s Market is, of course, the local fruits and vegetables but….I also really love the yummy fresh bags of kettle corn and the best taco food truck we eat for lunch after shopping 😉

I almost never cooked stuffed foods, but I do love a good stuffed pepper. Always have zucchini in the house to grill or spiralize, so this is definitely something I gots to try.
Those stuffed zucchinis look great. I am going to have to try that,
