Hi,
My name is Brenda AKA: NaturesFairy from YouTube. I went on a Gluten Free Diet February 2012.
I'll be posting my Gluten Free Recipes, Videos and Product Reviews.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
All of a sudden we are getting lots of Zucchinis from our Garden. The Zucchinis can get very large over night. I like to use the large ones to make Zucchini Boats. You can use smaller ones as well. This is a very simple dinner that is naturally Gluten Free and Low Carb. Taco Zucchini Boats with Ground Turkey and Black Beans. 2 Large Zucchinis or 4 smaller size Washed, cut ends off and slice in half Scoop out the seeds (I used a Grapefruit Spoon) making sure you don't scrape thru the skin. Place the Zucchinis cut side up on a parchment lined cookie sheet Preheat oven 375* In a Skillet Add: 2 Tbl EVOO 1 small Onion chopped Saute until transparent Add: 1# Ground Turkey (Or Ground Beef) Mix with the Onions and cook until done Add: 1- 10.5 oz Canned Black Beans that have been drained and rinsed 1 Packages of Taco Seasoning Mix (My recipe below on how to make your own. Use 1/3 cup seasoning mix ¾ Cup Water Mix and simmer for 5 minutes or until water has been reduced and thick Stuff the mixture into the Zucchini Boats Sprinkle on Mexican Cheese Blend or any cheese of your choice (As much as you like) Bake for 25-35 minutes. It depends on how big your zucchinis are. Cook until a steak knife goes in easily. Do not over cook otherwise they will get mushy. Served with: Sliced Tomatoes, Banana Peppers Rings, Guacamole, Sour Cream and Salsa Sauce
