Tomato & Garlic Hummus

I love love love me some hummus. But I hate paying so much for it! 

If you've got a can of chickpeas or black beans and a few common pantry items, you can make sooooo many different flavors for half the price of store bought.

Here's one that I made.

Mexican Style Zucchini Boats

I can't tell you how much I love using zucchini. Especially in dinners as a substitute for noodles or as a veggie "filler". Cooked zucchini doesn't have a super strong taste, but I can add it to lots of dishes and get my veggies in without the taste taking over the dish.

Tonight I wanted to do zucchini boats. These are always yummy. But I love anything spicy so a Mexican flavor was a must.

Please note that a lot of my cooking is "by taste". I may put certain amounts in the ingredients lists, but you can add or subtract depending on your own taste.

*6 boats - serves 3-4

~ Ingredients ~

Along with a 9x13 pan I used the following:

• 3 zucchini
• 1 can rotel
• 1 can non fat refried beans (realized that great northern beans would also be a great choice)
• 1 pound beef (sorry, I didn't realize I was out of turkey which is what I was going to use)
• 1 cup cheese
• 1 6 ounce container of greek yogart
• about 30 tortilla chips (crushed)
• 1 packet of taco seasoning (not pictured)
• salt and pepper
• *1/2 tsp. ground cumin if you have it
