ZUCCHINI BOATS
Yes! You are seeing this right … Zucchini Boats!
I was trying to come up with a new meal prep idea one weekend. For some reason, I had been on a big zucchini kick. Zoodles, baked zucchini, for dip, even in oats. So of course I ended up with zucchini in my new creation. These are a fun new way to enjoy zucchini.
As far a meal prep goes, these are awesome. You can make them in a big batch using 5-6 zucchinis and boom … dinner for part of the week. Not to mention, they taste just as good cold or warmed up.
I think what draws me to them is that they just seem fun. I don’t know about you, but the idea of eating a boat is awesome. Not to mention your roommate will be very intrigued as to what you are eating. This means you might have to share, but that is okay because they are just that good.
