Zucchini turned into flavorful boats hold savory, rich southern style dressing. Top it all off with a sprinkle of cheese for a great side dish yet hearty enough to be the star of a meal.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I can’t wait! I love all the food traditions that my family has served over the years and one of the most beloved is southern style dressing.  We always bake our dressing and serve it along side our juicy turkey then pour over the rich homemade gravy. Well, truth be known, not everybody loves dressing that way and this year we have a guest that’s a vegetarian. So, I thought about how I could change up one of my favorite dishes and came up with this ~ dressing stuffed zucchini. I think it combines all the wonderful flavors of traditional dressing with a great veggie!

The only change was the addition of a little parmesan cheese and once baked, my little boats turned out absolutely wonderful.  They are great right out of the oven or at room temperature and I think they’d be great sliced and served as an appetizer.
