Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Don't you hate people who review a changed recipe? So, hate me then. I had *round* zucchini from the garden, no spinach, bread crumbs instead of bread cubes and dried parsley instead of fresh. Used 1 cup bread crumbs and 1/4 cup dried parsley. After mixing it together, seemed dry, so I added another 1/2 cup of tomato sauce (total of 1 cup). Used 3 round zucchini. Shaved a little off the bottom of each so the halves wouldn't roll around. Figured the filling was thicker than in a regular zucchini, so I baked them covered an extra 10 minutes (total of 40 minutes) and then 10 minutes uncovered. Turned out very good and pretty simple to make. Note that the tomato sauce gives the filling a subtle flavor - it's not smothered in tomato sauce. When I make this again, I'll probably add some black pepper and minced garlic or garlic powder. Overall a good recipe, simple to make and a different twist to use up that zucchini bumper crop from the garden.

Honey Glazed Ham
I got a 10 lb spiral cut ham for New Year's Day that came with a glaze packet. After looking at the ingredients (e.g. three different artificial colors), I decided to look at all recipes for something better. Made some mods recommended by others - used 1 cup clover honey, 2/3 cup butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar; also dropped the cloves - don't like them on ham. Turned out pretty good.

Slow-Cooked German Short Ribs
I made this with a pot roast instead of ribs and cooked it on high for 4 hours (started too late). Followed the sauce recipe exactly and it's pretty good, sort of medium intensity, that is, not too tangy and not too sweet. Will try it with ribs next time, cooking on low for a longer time. Keeper.
