The problem is that Eric and I are self-proclaimed night owls. And by night owls, I mean that we like to stay up late watching Netflix and eating ice cream and being generally irresponsible. Telling stories here is one of my favorite parts of doing this blog thang, and I keep a file of ideas in my email. I guess I looked back in my file and didn’t realize I’d already used it. Oops. (I’m editing this right now. Originally this zucchini post had a story about me trying to get water from different faucets in my house even though I knew the water was shut off; the same story I told on this post. And now I’m updating it with a story about how I’m a total moron and used the same story twice.) So there it is people. PROOF that early to bed and early to rise does NOT make a blogger wise.
Ingredient for buffalo chicken zucchini boats
I would like to be able to say, “just go to your garden and pick some of the fresh zucchini that is growing with abundance”. But maybe you are like me and don´t have quite the green thumb that is needed for this recipe. That´s ok. I made you a quick shopping list, just to be safe. See the recipe card below for the full ingredients and instructions! Scoop out the zucchini and make sure you squeeze out the excess water. I decided to make these because I’m always eating this Buffalo Chicken Dip for dinner when I make it. That’s why there are Ritz crackers on top! They’re my favorite dipper. Dip for dinner is not exactly the healthiest dinner choice. But it is when you add zucchini! Plus I cut out most of the mayonnaise. It’s super delicious, and pretty low-carb. You could easily make these ahead of time. Follow the recipe as usual (but leave off the crumbs), and refrigerate for a few hours (or probably even overnight). Top at the last minute with the crumbs and then bake for the last 10-15 minutes called for in the recipe. If you are feeling extra Martha Stewart-y and want to make your own ranch dressing to serve with these buffalo chicken zucchini boats, I highly recommend whipping up a batch of my buttermilk ranch dressing.
