Simple Stuffed Zucchini or Squash

There are plenty of great stuffed zucchini and squash recipes here, but they all have an ingredient that I cannot either digest or blisters my mouth (tomatoes..the acid is killer!) I found this one and I really like it. Baked or grilled, it's so easy and delicious and I always have everything on hand.

It was so good that my husband requested that I make this again tonight. I did, but made a few changes. Used only 3 squash. Instead of using the butter crackers, I used 1 cup crumbled cornbread & 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs. Instead of using parmesan cheese in the mix, I used pepper jack cheese & melted parmesan cheese on top. It was much better since it had a slight kick to it, but still missing something. <br/><br/>I am going to try again (maybe not tomorrow night) & add some different ingredients to see what I come up with.

We loved these! I am so used to being served squash dripping in butter with all the nutrients cooked out of it, that this was a pleasant surprise. Buttery and sweet without being greasy. Next time I get squash or zucchini I am definitely making these again! And maybe I will share. Made during ZWT III in memory of Amy.
