I apparently indulged a little too much over this summer.  All those delicious fresh desserts and ice creams and little time for the gym has definitely left its mark on my waistline. So, as summer is on its way out, I am taking this time to try and make more conscious decisions on what I am eating. I have now made a promise to myself to try to cut out unneeded carbs and stick to protein and fresh fruits and vegetables.

I’ve made this recipe a few times – always with great results.

You will notice that this recipe does not call for salt. That’s because the feta cheese is so salty that adding more salt will just be overboard. …unless you like salt. Then dash away!

This recipe is also good for those days when you come home late from work. It takes just under 45 minutes to make and is very satisfying. I eat two of these “boats” for dinner (which is a while zucchini) and I am stuffed. But you could also serve this with a side of rice if you prefer.

You could also switch up the meat and use just about anything. Ground turkey or lamb would also be amazing.  ...I may do that next time.
