TGIF!!! It’s Friday and we’re on Day 17 of the 21 Day Detox!
Today, I present to you one of my favorite dishes.
Grant it, I say this about everything I cook…lol…because I love food, and everything I cook and eat at that moment is my favorite!
I took my stuffed mushrooms and turned them into stuffed zucchini boats. You get two for one people…!
Who doesn’t love stuffed mushrooms and who doesn’t love zucchini boats?
After about 30 minutes it’s time to chow down.
I also garnished my zucchini boats with extra peppers, onion, and parsley!
Enjoy!!!!
