Shredded Beef Boat:
You can find lots of fancy recipes online (George over at Civilized Caveman Cooking has a great one that inspired me), but I was in a rush and improvised yesterday. I simply threw a roast in the crock pot with a medium onion diced, a couple tablespoons garlic, salt, pepper, and about a cup of Trader Joe's chili sauce. Left it on high for about 8 hours then shredded it up and left it in the juices overnight in the fridge. So simple but I liked this better than other recipes I've tried.
Today, I halved a GIANT zucchini from my garden (you could use smaller ones too), and hollowed out the seeds to for a boat. I drizzled it in coconut oil and baked on 450F for about 30 minutes until soft. Once it was soft, I sprinkled it with salt and pepper and the filled it with beef. Back into the oven under the broiler for about 10 minutes until the meat was warm, and topped it with guacamole.
Shrimp Kabobs:
I used Trader Joe's pre-cut butternut squash bites, and alternated shrimp. Drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt, pepper, onion salt, and cajun seasoning, and popped them under the broiler about 10 minutes until the squash was soft.
So there you go.... simple easy meal, and I worked out while it baked! Enjoy!
