Healthy and Easy... Who would of thought that possible?

Baked Stuffed Zucchini Logs

I made this recipe up when my husband brought home more zucchini than I knew what to do with from a co-worker's garden.  I'm sure that there are many versions of these out there but here's my spin on them.  Find the largest zucchinis that you can, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.  For the filling, saute a small chopped onion, chopped green pepper, chopped mushrooms and a few garlic cloves in olive oil.  Add several turkey sausage links (casings removed) of your desired heat, I prefer a little kick, and cook until no longer pink.  Add half a jar of tomato sauce.  Then spoon mixture into the zucchini halves.  Place in a sprayed pan.  Pour the rest of the sauce over the top and sprinkle with your favorite cheese (mine would have to be smoked provolone for a unique taste).  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until the zucchini is soft.

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
