Whoooo hooooo! Send me your addresses at itzyskitchen at gmail dot com!
My day went well....work was busy! I came home and practiced Body Attack for an hour and sweated up a storm! I feel like my push ups are already getting better! Then I did some work around the house and made up a din din from Lori's awesome blog Fake Food Free. Lori called this awesome creation Stuffed Zucchini but I have changed it to Zucchini Canoes (hope that is ok Lori ;). Here is the original recipe from Lori's blog, adapted from Giada(I halved this):
Ingredients:
Olive oil
1 small onion, grated
¼ c parsley, chopped (I used dried and guessed on the proper amount)
1 egg (I used egg whites only)
3 tbsp ketchup
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt (I left this out)
¼ tsp pepper
1/3 c grated Parmesan
¼ c dried bread crumbs
1 lb ground turkey
3 to 4 zucchini, halved and hallowed out
1 ½ c marinara sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle oil in oven proof baking dish. Whisk together – onion, parsley, egg, ketchup, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix with ground turkey, bread crumbs and cheese. Stuff the zucchini with the meat mixture, arrange in dish. Cover with marinara (you could also top it with cheese) and bake for 45 minutes.
I served the Canoe's with some TJ's Harvest Grain's Blend (you must try this, it is soooo good):
Did you guys have any special Valentine's day treats this weekend? Josh got me some gummy cinamon hearts- YUM!

I prepared myself TWO fabulous peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on Valentine's day :D
Fabulous recipe, by the way! I like anything with ketchup.
Thank you! Yipee! The canoes look wonderful(I like the name) and your parents are so adorable.
Oh my gosh, fabulous!!!
And congratulations to the winners!
I missed the contest! Darn! But congratulations to the winners. I hope the Country Bob's fairy pays me a visit someday because that sauce is getting some seriously rockin' reviews!
Body Attack sounds intense - good for you for working on those push ups! They are my nemesis :o) Oh, and I love the "Zucchini Canoes" - great name change! They look really delicious.
Cinnamon hearts do sound yummy! The chocolate cream pie I split with Bobby on V-Day was quite the treat!
Yummy dinner! Glad you had a nice day.
I made myself a nice dinner and dessert on V-Day... little lonely, but at least the food was good!
love those canoes :) hehe
yum! Those sound great, and I feel like calling them "canoes" would be a sneaky and fun way to get kids to like them!
thats looks soo good girlie! and the cinnamon hearts sounds awesome as well.
I got a big treat bag full of dark chocolate from my mommy! yum yum!
hope your having a goodnight dear <3
I ate way too much chocolate this weekend! I've made this recipe before, I liked it a lot!
Ooh! Those canoes are too cute. I might have to try veganizing those!
No real VD treats for me! Those canoes sound delicious, even though I am not a big zucchini fan. Definitely adaptable though!
YAAAY for the winners! and i like the name canoes!
I had my two first Amy's frozen meals, do the count?
:D
great recipe for the zucchini. Another variation could be cheese and corns.
The canoes look amazing! I love how they are called canoes!
treats? yes.
I ate most of my Toddlers candy from her VDAY party.
it became a game for her to open stuff and say:
MAMA WANT??
and I was all about the game.
you gotta have treat days right?
Miz.
That recipe looks great! I love zucchini and I love the new name of zucchini canoes ... very cute ; )
Hooray for Tuesday! (at least we got Monday over with, right?)

THose canoes looks great!
I got a box of godivas for valentines that I have been savoring! :)

ZUCCHINI CANOES!! Nostalgia alert for me :-)
These look really tasty and healthy too fabulous!
I love those zucchini canoes!! They look so easy :)
Vday feast - Middle Eastern food mmmm!!
Have a fabulous Tuesday!
Those canoes are the cutest! What a neat idea.
I made some YUMMY sugar cookies for Vday, mmmm. Now the trick will be not eating them all myself, lol.
yum! I love zucchini and have some ground turkey sitting out for tonight. I have have to change up tonight's dinner!
Oh those look sooo good!! I need to eat better this week, as I had to much junk.
Love the Canoes - those look so good! I am working on my push-ups too, but I really want to do a chin-up. Still not quite there yet...any tips?
Chris treated me to a lovely dinner at our favorite little Valentine's Day restaurant. We go there every year. They have the BEST salmon, but I was so sad to find out that they took it off the menu. However, they served it as a special the night we were there. So perfect! But maybe not quite as perfect as gummy cinnamon hearts. :)
I love the zucchini canoes!! We had too many treats over the weekend...oops! I made Josh his favorite cookies, my oatmeal choc. chippers, and I also made a new lemon cookie...see the blog for the recipe today!!
Holy plate of delicious Batman! I've always wanted to try a stuffed zucchini type recipe - this looks like a winner!
Those canoes look heavenly! I must try! :)
Oh my gosh that zucchini canoe looks delicious, I bet it would also be good with eggplant.
Hope you're having a great day!
The dish looks great! I make zuchinni boats, as I call them, a lot in the summer when my garden is full of them! They're always a hit! :)
It looks like the recipe turned out great. I love the new name! :) Congrats on all your house news! I've just had the chance to catch up a bit. Have a great week!
Oh love that zucchini like that!! Wow, looks delish. I so wish I had Trader Joe's nearby, I've already sent them an email to open up here. :(
Congrats to the winners!
Canoes! Sweet. Too bad my hubby doesn't like zucchini. I keep trying to trick him into eating it but it hasn't worked yet :-)
Aw, love the canoes =)
I actually have two zucchini's in my fridge and all of the ingredients on hand, or make-able. I'm totally going to try this one out tonight.
The Hubby gets home late tonight so after i put the boys down i can get cooking and surprise him, and enjoy them myself.
Thanks for the great recipe.
