Squash Cups

My mom and my sister were watching reality television, following the lives of the countries most elite housewives, when they asked me to bring them something to snack on. My sister is a lightweight rower, and in my opinion it's very important to control not the quantity (because there are certain foods you can eat as much as you want of -- take celery, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers...) but the quality of the snack food.

I remembered seeing a recipe on the Food Network about Zucchini cups, and when I saw the yellow zucchini squash in the fridge I decided to heat up the oven and start cooking. The recipe I saw on T.V. had meat inside the cups, and as a snack, I wanted to the cups to provide my sister [and mom] an oppurtunity to eat guilt-free as they focused on their shows.

So I cut the yellow zucchini into big cylinders, and scooped out the inside to make them into cups. Inside each I layered chopped scallions and vidalia onions. I found a box of grape tomatoes and added a layer of diced tomatoes to each zucchini cup. I put them in the oven for about half an hour, and then I added mozzarela cheese to seal off the top of the cups, and put them back in the oven for 2 minutes.

I carried the plate to my sister, poured myself a glass of water, came back into the family room, and saw an empty plate on the coffee table. BOOYAHH! Another successful and healthy recipe complementing an athletic lifestyle. Try these!! They were phenomenally delicious! ;)
