I love greek food, and I don't cook it often enough. I'm not sure why either. Just another of those things that escapes me in the kitchen for one reason or another.
Lately I've been in the mood to go back and make my Skinny Greek Feta Dip again. Because... let's face it. Who doesn't love to have an excuse to eat feta? I managed to find my excuse with these perfectly de{light}ful kabobs.
I managed to find some GIANT zucchini's today and just knew they would be perfect for what I had in mind!
Seriously.
These were some of the most enormous zucchini's that I have ever laid eyes on... and I've seen some pretty big ones in my day.
From what I remember, kabobs were always more of a hassle than they were worth in my house growing up. However, they were also being cook for two additional mouths than I was feeding, one of which was a grown man and another a pit of a teenage boy!
These were a pretty great way to end a perfect spring day. I found them rather hassle free and very easy to do.
This was a light and yet filling dinner that left me feeling satisfied and not at all guilty!
Even after the indulgence of a dip.
