(Stuffed) Zucchini and Jalepeno Boats



This recipe will make 5 medium (10 when halved) zucchini and 5 large (10 when halved) jalepeno boats.  My best tip is to only bake what you plan to eat, then cover and save the rest of the mixture.  Mixture will keep for 5-7 days in fridge.  You can easily buy 1 zuke, slice it, stuff it, bake it 15 mins and there’s a delicious lunch!  Enjoy! –Emily
