Get on the Boat....

The zucchini boat that is... I was checking out some easy veggie recipes online the other day and came across this little gem. http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/stuffed-zucchini-boats-111123.aspx

A zucchini boat..for real?! I had to make it, so while P fixed us some steaks I got to work on crafting our boats. I pretty much followed the recipe but I added some extras.

-I shredded some fresh mozz and threw all of it in the mix.

-Instead of using Ritz crackers I used pistachio crackers that I have been trying to keep in the house at all times. They are delicious to say the least and even better with a little peanut butter on them, what can I say....the more nuts the better!

-Instead of using dried basil I just snipped some fresh basil from out back

-I added some pepper and red pepper flakes

-To top it off I placed 1/2 slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each boat, that was the kicker.



I have to say that they were pretty tasty, even P seemed to have hopped on the boat. In hindsight I may have gone ahead and added a little Old Bay or something else but they were tender boats stocked full of cheese and other tasties.
