I'm up .6 today - I think it's because I was lifting weights pretty hard yesterday. Fluid retention and all that.
Last night I made stuffed zucchini:
1/2 lb lean ground beef (but you could use ground turkey if you wanted)
1 med onion
1/2 tbsp olive oil
can of crushed tomatoes
red pepper flakes
garlic
mozzarella cheese.
Take 3 or 4 (depending on how big they are) zucchini and split them in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller or a grapefruit spoon (or just a regular spoon if that's all you have) to scoop them out and make a hollow. Prebake them in a 300 deg oven for about 15 mins.
While they're baking saute the meat, onion, garlic, etc. until done and then add the crushed tomatoes and pepper flakes and cook down until about 1/2 the liquid is gone. You can add anything else you want to the filling - I sometimes add chopped spinach or diced bell pepper - whatever veggies are in the bin. And you can leave out the pepper flakes if you want. I like the extra oomph.
Spoon the filling into the zucchini, top with a little mozzarella and/or parmesan cheese, and return to the oven to bake for another 15 mins or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
You can eliminate the cheese if you need to watch the fat content - although skim moz is pretty decent on fat content.
