Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise to create 2 long pieces. Scrape a small, ideally pointed spoon down the center of the zucchini halves to remove and discard the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh intact. Place the zucchini boats on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place a saucepot over medium heat and add the butter. Heat until melted, then brush the cavities of the zucchini boats with the butter. Add the chicken stock and reserved hominy liquid to the remaining melted butter and heat until simmering. Whisk in the grits and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the grits have softened and thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the pimientos, beans, chives, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup hominy (save the remaining hominy for another use). Season to taste. Remove from the heat and allow to cool briefly. (The grits will continue to thicken as they cool.)
- Sprinkle the zucchini boats with salt and pepper. Spread about 1/4 cup of the grits into each zucchini boat, mounding the filling over the edges. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the boats.
- Roast until the boats have softened and the cheese just starts to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and serve immediately.
GRILLED BACON, EGG AND CHEESE ZUCCHINI BOATS
Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, these zucchinis boats are filled with eggs, two kinds of cheese, garlic and fresh chives. Grilling them over indirect heat adds a smokey flavor to the eggs and keeps them from drying out. At the end, the boats are wrapped in salty bacon, making them utterly irresistible.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off the middle burner for 3-burner grills or the 2 middle burners for grills with 4 or more burners and keep the other 2 burners at medium high. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (The grill should be around 400 degrees F. Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for the best results.)
- Slice the zucchinis down the middle, lengthwise like a hotdog, so that you have 4 long, equal pieces of zucchini. Use a teaspoon to remove the flesh of the zucchini, being sure to leave a 1/4-inch border and to not pierce the bottom of the zucchini. Finely chop 1/2 cup of the zucchini flesh and discard or save the remainder for another use. Place the chopped zucchini flesh into a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Place the zucchini flesh into a medium liquid measuring cup or bowl.
- Flip the zucchini boats over so that the peel side is facing up and brush all four pieces with olive oil. Season the peel side with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then flip over and season the flesh side with another 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Add the Cheddar, Havarti, chives, cream, eggs, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the liquid measuring cup or bowl with the zucchini flesh. Whisk until well combined. Pour the mixture into the cavity of each zucchini boat.
- Using both hands to lift the zucchini carefully, place the filled boat in the middle of the grill over indirect heat (where the burner is turned off), cover, and cook until the eggs have puffed up slightly and are just set, 25 to 30 minutes. Use grilling tongs to remove the zucchini to a cutting board. Carefully wrap each zucchini boat in 1 of the bacon strips. Return to the grill over indirect heat and continue grilling, covered, until the eggs are completely set and the bacon is warmed and just crispy, 18 to 20 minutes.

CHEESY STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS
I made this wonderful side dish to accompany my Perdue Roaster for dinner on yesterday. It was excellent, and quite simple to make. The original recipe came from a cookbook called MECO BARBEQUE & SMOKER COOKBOOK From the kitchens of Southern Living. Of course I added my own spin to the recipe, making more of a veggie stuffing...

Steps:
- 1. Wash the zucchini or squash thoroughly, then add to a large pot, and cook in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Then drain and allow to cool slightly. I used the microwave in two intervals of about 10 minutes each.
- 2. Spray a 9 X13 size casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. Set aside till needed. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 3. Remove the stems from zucchini, then cut each in half lengthwise.
- 4. With a medium size spoon, remove the centers of each zucchini, and add it to a medium size bowl. Add each zucchini half to the prepared casserole dish.
- 5. Add coconut or canola oil to a large skillet, and add the chopped veggies, and cook about 3 to 4 minutes until crisp tender. Remove from heat, and add mixture to bowl with zucchini pulp.
- 6. Remove from heat & add mixture to bowl with zucchini pulp. If adding the bacon, cook till crisp, allow to cool, then crumble into stuffing to blend together.
- 7. Add the panko bread crumbs, spices, shredded cheese, & liquid egg whites. Stir till blended together.
- 8. Stuff each shell with an equal amount of the stuffing, till they are all filled.
- 9. Then top sparingly with extra shredded cheese if desired. Bake in preheated 350 degree. oven for 25 to 30 minutes until cheese melts and mixture is hot and bubbly. Garnish with a dash of paprika if desired, & serve hot.
