Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Quinoa Stuff Zucchini

Quinoa stuffed zucchini boars are the perfect food during the summer when people are giving away zucchinis every time you turn around. These bountiful little vegetables are pretty amazing, but I find myself using zucchini in every way possible for about a month. It was during this time of plenty that I came up with quinoa stuffed zucchini boats. 

I had previously been trying to fill zucchinis with eggs, but it wasn’t always a success. Sometimes it worked and sometimes the eggs just sort of spilled everywhere because the zucchini just wouldn’t sit flat. But quinoa stuffed zucchini boats works MUCH better and it’s awfully tasty!
