Yellow or Zucchini Squash Boats or Stuff That Zuke

"Another great recipe for the garden conquering Squash or Zuke. Even my doggie likes this one!! (she tries to steal her very own squash boat) Makes a great appy or side dish. Not a recipe for someone who has to use exact measurements because there may be some adjustments due to the water content of the squash."
