Another variation on stuffed pork, this version incorporates tomatoes. It came out quite well and was a satisfying dinner with some green salad and fresh corn on the cob. Even shipped all the way out here, Olathe corn is the best!

For dinner tonight, I made my stuffed summer squash with some fun and delicious eight ball zucchini from my CSA box. For the side, I made tomato and cucumber salad. This was a great summer meal!

This is my take on the many stuffed zucchini recipes out there. This one takes an Italian flair. It turned out quite nicely, and I'll definitely try this again, maybe with a lemon-y take next time.
