Do you actually make the recipes you pin from Pinterest?\u00a0 I’d say I\u00a0make at least 50% of the recipes I pin.\u00a0 The majority of the recipes that I make, I\u00a0do plan on making\u00a0them\u00a0again.\u00a0 For this weeks post I wanted to share and review two of the recipes I found on Pinterest that\u00a0include garden fresh produce that is in season: banana peppers, and zucchini.\u00a0 The first recipe I made was stuffed banana peppers.\u00a0 At our office we have a garden where we grow banana peppers, bell peppers, beans, corn, winter squash, eggplants, tomatoes, and herbs.\u00a0\u00a0The garden\u00a0gives us a fun opportunity to experiment with\u00a0recipes using vegetables.\u00a0 Recently we had\u00a0a lot\u00a0of banana peppers that were ready to be harvested.\u00a0\u00a0With these I made\u00a0Stuffed Banana\u00a0Peppers.\u00a0 I\u00a0baked them in the oven\u00a0but they could be cooked on the grill as well.\u00a0 Make sure to put them on aluminum foil if you grill them.\u00a0 These were a hit, especially with my husband.\u00a0\u00a0I will be making this recipe again.\u00a0 For more great stuffed vegetable recipes check out UNL Extension Associate, Nancy Urbanec’s\u00a0post, Stuffed CSA Bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second recipe I made from Pinterest this week, was Taco\u00a0Stuffed Zucchini Boats.\u00a0 The\u00a0link to this recipe is\u00a0below.\u00a0 I was so excited with how well these turned out.\u00a0 I did add an extra ingredient to the recipe after it was done, Sriracha.\u00a0 If you haven’t heard of Sriracha it is a hot sauce and is very popular right now.\u00a0 It added a great kick to the recipe.\u00a0 This was another recipe I plan to use again.\u00a0 If you ask, I’m sure one or\u00a0your friends\u00a0or family has\u00a0extra zucchini they’d love to give you.\u00a0 If you make these recipes please share your likes and\/or modifications.\u00a0 Or if you\u00a0have other garden fresh veggie recipe that are crowd pleaser, please share via the\u00a0comment section.<\/p>\n
