Stuffed Zucchini

I've noticed that when you pick up a cookbook you will find more dessert and meat recipes than you will ever use but very few veggie recipes. So, I'll will try to do help correct that by posting more veggie dishes. The one below is really good, even if you don't like squash.

2 med Zucchini (about 1 lb)
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
3/4 cup shredded cheese
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out center and dice the pump. Spray a square baking dish with non stick spray. Place zucchini shells in pan. Spray a frying pan with non-stick spray. Add onion, mushroom and diced zucchini. Sauté over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Stir in cheese, salt & pepper. Fill zucchini shells with mixture. Spray top of vegetables with non-stick spray. Bake about 20 minutes. Makes 4

Changes - add some flavor. Try garlic or poultry seasoning to taste. Change up the cheese by using different blends. Add some celery and sauté along with the other veggies.
