Eating Healthy on a budget is fun. Baked/Stuffed Zucchini

So Again inspired by a pinterest pin seen here I set out to try something new. I love squash, almost as much as I love Avocado which is almost as much as I love asparagus... When I saw this pin and this picture of these pretty little zuchinni boats perfectly stuffed to perfection I knew I had to have it. For the most part I followed Kayotic's instructions (and even if I had to the tee this still would have been amazing!) I did everything she did except I added some black beans I didn't even use half a can so the rest are in the fridge waiting for their debut in another meal. I also added Parmesan into the stuffing mixture along with a tad of mozzarella (not much because then I decided when I turned the broiler on I would top it with a tad more cheese) I didn't add Curry because I was too lazy to dig for it, I added a tad of cayenne pepper (thought about topping it with jalapenos and after eating it, I wish I had.) I baked them the same as she did but as I said just before I turned the broiler on I popped some more (not much maybe a TBSP) cheese on the top.

It was delicious, so delicious I ate both "boats" Next time I think I will substitute the sour cream for Cream cheese and add pickled jalapenos to the stuffing. That ought to give it a kick!

Loveocado

Avocado. You either love it or hate it. There is no in between. Well me, yeah I love it!

This meal will serve two if you do this with both avocado halves.

I have been absent from the blogging world because I have been cheating on blogger with pinterest, I have an addiction. :) Recently this pin has been floating around It is a baked egg in an avocado. Well if you know me you know I can't do anything by following instructions I have to make it mine! (and you should too!) I saw this as awesome potential. So here is what I did. I baked my egg and avocado (per instructions) but then popped it under the broiler to get that "crisp" outside but ooey gooey inside...

I prepared my bacon drained and crumbled it. In a skillet just before the egg was done I put the teeniest dab of olive oil and threw my minced garlic in there until tender (don't burn it!!!) once it was done I turned off the heat added 2 diced cocktail tomatoes and one large leaf of basil chopped and the crumbled bacon, removed it from the heat and swirled it around so that the tomatoes juice just started flowing (not to slimey though- yuck) topped my Eggvocado then topped with some fresh paremsan cheese.

Let me tell you, it was amazingness.
