Zucchini Boats

Not the floaty kind of boat...the eating kind of boat.  I scooped a bit of the flesh (just the seedy part) out of a large zucchini and then made a filling for it.  I sauteed some onion and garlic with some grated zucchini then I added some breadcrumbs and feta cheese.  W wanted me to add cream cheese and E's idea was to add some Frank's Red Hot sauce, then I added some chopped tomato.  I put in some salt and pepper and used this mixture to top the zucchinis. 

I  baked them until the zucchini was cooked through and...edible zucchini boats.

We haven't only been eating zucchini though, there's been fresh tomatoes (this is E's first ripe one from his larger tomato plant this year),

there are some very looooong beans ready,

And a whole lot of cukes - Armenian cukes, long english cukes, Marketmore cukes, lemon cukes and more.

Anyone have any favourite cucumber recipes they want to share??

And I picked some peaches on my way home from working the other day so that this morning I can get started on making our yearly supply of peach butter - so good on our weekend morning waffles.

And, since we are heading to the beach with friends again today, I think I might take along this fellah

and see if the kids can make an actual boat out of him.  I'm sure a hollowed out zucchini could make a fun toy boat. ;-)
