Stuffed zucchini boats
I'm always looking for different recipes to make for dinner, and I came across these zucchini boats that were sooo yummy! They also have a descent amount of protein. I'm thinking about substituting the ground beef for Turkey beef next time to make a bit healthier. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!!
