This stuffed summer squash recipe uses fresh summer squash – green, yellow, or even zucchini – along with other easy to grow garden vegetables<\/a>. It’s tasty, filling, nutritious and low calorie. Oh, and did I mention it is not only vegetarian but vegan, too?<\/p>\n\n\nJump to Recipe<\/a>\n\n\n

Vegetarian Recipe for Stuffed Summer Squash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most summer squash<\/a> recipes include tons of cheese, which to me, takes away from the light, fresh flavor of the garden vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, what’s the point of raising your own summer squash, tomatoes, and other veggies, only to smother them with cheese? Okay, yeah, it’s cheese – and who doesn’t love cheese? – but for those of us watching our calories and cholesterol, like my husband and I, we can do without the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing Summer Squash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like its much-maligned counterpart, the zucchini, summer squash is exceptionally easy to grow. Plant squash seeds directly into the garden in the warm weather. You can plant seeds in the spring<\/a> after the last frost date for your gardening zone or anytime into July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We waited until the beets <\/a>were done and harvested, then used the same raised bed to plant our summer and winter squash. Within weeks, we had healthy plants. Bonus: we seem to have missed the window when all of the squash beetles<\/a> in the world descend on our garden for an orgy, leaving their eggs and young on the squash leaves and ruining our crop. This year, knock wood, no bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it’s true that planting summer squash so late in the season results in fewer squash, for our family of two (with only one summer squash lover – me), it’s perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n

Making Stuffed Summer Squash Vegetarian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is so easy to make that the kids can help! If you’re growing your own squash, all you need to do is wash the outside skin clean. I’m assuming that you, like me, prefer to grow organic vegetables. If not, no worries – just give it an extra good scrub!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people who grow a few squash plants also love growing tomatoes, and the taste of squash and sweet cherry tomatoes just seems to go together. I added a bit of ground black pepper as a seasoning, but you can also add basil salt, dried basil,<\/a> or another Italian herb for a lovely accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe takes about an hour to make, and makes a good vegetarian meal idea or a side dish for a light meal. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
