“I loved this!!!! Mr. I-Refuse-to-Eat-Vegetables actually ate half of the zucchini and all of the filling! That is a major win in my book! I was given a 12″ zucchini, so I split it and used the recipe as given for the filling. The perfect amount. I had to leave off the tomatoes, because, um…they are a “vegetable” and I didn’t have Cilantro….I forgot that I forgot to water it…oops. I will definitely make this again. Thanks!!!!! ” – Deb

It also happens to be one of my favorites. – me, Melissa!
