Savory Stuffed Zucchini

Kendall selected this recipe a couple of weeks ago. She is a good vegetable eater so it seemed fitting that it would be a recipe that she would get to help with.

Notes: I used real butter.

Verdict: Phil, Kendall and I LOVED THEM!!! But sadly, no one else did. The majority of our family voted against this recipe... DANG!! However, I might just keep it around for awhile and try it again.
