Zucchini Boats from Guest Post ~ @Kathyhoffman3

This weekend was a fun filled time with my dear girlfriends helping me with packing! We laughed as we found various things I had saved over the years that I had tucked away {Cindy said I was a squirrel!} thinking I couldn't get ride of {it/them}!

Needless to say, if you want to weed out your "stuff" get a couple of friends to help; letting go is far easier with friends to say 'do you REALLY need this?'

By the time we had about 10 boxes packed for Good Will, Kathy suggested it was time for a glass of wine and a little nurishment. She brought down some zucchini and various ingredients, and she got busy putting together these lovely Zucchini Boats.

Ingredients ~
3 small to medium zucchinis
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
grape tomatoes, halved --about15
Panko bread crumbs
Fontina cheese, shredded
Parmesan cheese, shredded
fresh chopped basil

Wash zucchini and cut in half. Scrape out the middles to hollow.  Dry. Brush on olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and crushed garlic.Arrange halved grape tomatoes into grooves. Sprinkle on fontina cheese, followed by some bread crumbs. Drizzle with olive oil.

Place boats on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Take out of oven and sprinkle Parmesan and basil on top. Drizzle a little more olive oil to moisten. Place under broiler for another 7 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Could be cut into smaller segments for appetizers. These were wonderful! Thank you, Kathy!!!!
