Tonight’s dinner-Italian zucchini boats!🤤

You can totally mix this up to your wants/needs-go dairy free, Mexican style, different ground meat-whatever works for you!😉

2-4 zucchini (depending on size or how many people you’re serving)
Olive oil
1 lb ground turkey (or choice of meat)
Half an onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
I can no salt added diced tomatoes, juices drained
Parm & mozzarella cheese
S & P
Italian seasonings

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Lightly brush with olive oil & season w/ s & p. (Some people scrap the seeds out before/after cooking because they’re watery…I like that they are as I think it fills me up more😉) Roast in oven for 15-20 mins on 375.

Meanwhile, brown turkey in lightly oiled skillet-season with a little s & p. Drain.
Return to skillet & add onions. Once soften add Italian seasoning to taste, tomatoes & garlic and cook until fragrant. Sprinkle in a little parm & turn heat to low to keep it warm.

Once zucchini is done allow to cool slightly so that you can scrap out the centers. I then add this to my turkey mixture, but some don’t-your call.

Fill zucchini “boats” with turkey mixture, top with a little parm & mozzarella and return to oven for about 15 mins.

We always have some of the meat mixture left that I eat the next day with cauliflower rice! Enjoy!

The Heirloon Traditions Paint group has amazing members! I have watched and learned for a couple months from everyone. A couple weeks ago I ordered a Deluxe Bundle - Polo. Saturday morning I headed to Habit for Humanity and got my starter piece. I made sure it did not have a lot of details - just flat sides. THIS PROCESS AND PAINT IS AMAZING! Painting my started piece I learned a lot. Because so many of you have shared your experiences, which helped me, I will do the same. Step 1 - learn and get prepared. I watched all the videos available. I read the comments and feedback to learn from other's experiences. Step 2 - paint a started piece. We all have the dream of where want to use the paint, but get comfortable with the products and process first. Step 3. Using the Deglosser/degreaser. This step is no joke and I am not sure it is talked about enough. The deglosser/degreaser product is AMAZING! You will need to use some elbow grease. If you ever stripped paint - it not complicated like that. For the deglosser/degreaser you paint it on, scrub and wipe. I had to do it two times, I think my piece came from a dorm room. Step 4. - the first coat. I went very slow and was very methodical. I tried all the tools and techniques for stippling - aka dab, dab, dab. I tired the large sponge dry and with light spritz of water and the sponge roller dry and with a light spritz of water. The roller with spritz worked best for me. Also I learned at times I was going too light with my paint. Don't be shy with your paint. Step 5. Second coat. This will go much faster. I have already ordered more paint. I am going to continue to do a couple small projects.
