For dinner yesterday I made some zucchini boat casserole. Here's the recipe I used:

2 zucchini
1 lb ground beef (you can also used ground turkey or chicken)
1 onion
1 cup raw cheese
2 T ketchup or tomato paste
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-2 bell peppers
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp and finely chop. In skillet cook ground beef, zucchini pulp, onion, peppers and mushrooms until meat is brown, drain is necessary. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup of cheese, ketchup, salt and pepper . Mix well. Season zucchini shells and spoon the mixture into the shells. Place in a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 fort 30 minutes.

To make this a casserole I just skipped scooping out the pulp, quartered the zucchini and cut into chunks. I also cooked down the zucchini a little bit before baking it in the oven.


Yesterdays workout was definitely insane! Halfway through I wished I had done the reps instead, but I completed it! Here is today's workout and what I had to eat.
