Fit-tabulous In case you didn't know... I LOVE pizza.. its my biggest weakness. I have to literally keep myself away from it because I could probably almost eat a large by myself (super thin cracker crust of course!). For any other pizza lovers out there, I highly suggest trying these zucchini boats! Great fun way to keep Friday Pizza night still in the house!  Share this post to bookmark the recipe on your page! Ingredients: • 3 zucchini, washed & split lengthwise & remove the ends • 2 tomatoes, Roma sliced fairly thin • 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded • 3 ounces parmesan cheese, grated • 6 fresh basil leaves, sliced thin • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 tablespoon olive oil • salt and pepper Directions: 1) in a bowl mix the garlic and salt and pepper. let stand for 20 minutes. 2) brush the zucchini with the olive oil, making sure to use it all evenly between the "boats". 3) sprinkle the parmesan cheese over each boat and then top each boat with the mozzarella. 4) place slices along the boats and then top with the basil. 5) place the boats on a foil lined pan and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Enjoy!
