The other day my Dad told me, ” You don’t have enough friends if you have to go to the store to buy zucchini.” I must have a lot of friends because right now I’ve got a kitchen full of zucchini! I’m starting to get very creative. I made zucchini boats the other night and they were a huge hit. My husband loved them!
The only thing different that I did was I used some leftover taco meat. You can always throw in extras. I like to go through my fridge and use up whatever I can. Other add-ins could be mushrooms, peppers, corn, tomatoes…etc!
