Potato Stuffed Zucchini


I have made a stuffed zucchini before with cheese as part of the filling and we loved it.  I decided to give it another try, this time filling it with potatoes and onions.  I think that this might be even better and I look forward to making it again.

 I realized that zucchini makes a good base for just about anything.  Fill it with rice or quinoa, different vegetables, sauces, cheese or chopped meat.  Make a pizza zucchini with tomato sauce and mozzarella and some Parmesan.  Have fun and enjoy.

 Potato Stuffed Zucchini

 Ingredients:

 2 medium zucchini
1 cup chopped peeled boiled potato
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped

Method:

 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

 Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell.

 Place zucchini halves, cut sides up, in a shallow roasting pan.

 Heat oil in a small skillet and add onions.  Cook for about 5 minutes.  I turned my burner on a higher flame than usual and it cooked quickly with a little browning.

 Add chopped zucchini that was removed from the skin and add to potatoes and browned onions.

 Cover and bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until zucchini is tender.

 Eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
