Summer Squash Tuna Boats

Gracias Padre por la comida!
Here's a simple and delicious recipe you might enjoy. 

Ingredients:
* Summer Squash (yellow or zucchini)
* Tuna
* Cheese
* Mayo / mustard
* Seasonings (I used salt and dried chopped onions)

(See the slideshow for simple instructions and notes at the bottom.)

This is just a base recipe to give you an idea and you can adjust it to your liking.

*I let my squash sit with salt for about 20 minutes, you can skip that part if you want or let it sit longer.  

* You don't have to add mayo or mustard but it gives it moisture.  Use sour cream or yogurt instead if you like. 

* Some people like to hollow out the insides and chop that part up, adding it back to the tuna mix but I like to just put it all on top as it's quicker but both ways are good.  

* Cooking temp and time are general, adjust to your liking. (Some people might want a more firm squash and some might want it cooked more.) About 30 minutes for a thick slab was perfect for picking up and eating like a boat as it was firm enough to hold together but soft enough to easily bite and be fully cooked. 

* There are so many variations you can do, using up what you already have in your home. 

I found these squash discounted and they were a bit soft and had some bad spots that I cut off and they turned out just fine.  The tuna was from discount also. This is a good recipe for those who have a garden and are blessed with an over abundance of summer squash (yellow or zucchini), you can top them with all sorts of different things:-)  Let us be thankful for our daily food and most of all, we should give thanks to Christ for all He's done, offering the hope of eternal life through the gospel which you can find HERE.
