Hello there! My name is Emeline Hoblick, otherwise known as the sister of the fabulous Schmidty Wife. Welcome to SISTER FOOD BLOG TAKEOVER 2018! My sister recently had a beautiful baby boy and is taking some time away from the blog to be with her family. I cannot wait to see the little guy! Unfortunately I live in South Dakota and she lives in New Hampshire so I’ll have to wait and fly out to see them when I have a chance. I did one previous blog post recipe for Chicken and Shrimp Paella. If that sounds like it’s up your alley, you can find the recipe HERE.
In other news, we recently had some warmer weather here in Pierre. It is crazy how much some sunshine can completely flip me into a good mood! Going from -10 degrees up to 32 feels like a heat wave and I’m not complaining. With spring rapidly approaching, I’m already getting excited for another summer! Living in a city on the Missouri River means spending lots of sunny days on the beach and firing up the grill. This got me thinking about cheeseburgers fresh off the grill. Is there anything more mouthwatering than that??
On to today’s recipe, Bacon Cheeseburger Zucchini Boats. I make zucchini boats of all kinds and this one is my absolute favorite. With mouth watering bacon, and tasty hamburger filling, topped with melty cheese, pickles, and tomatoes, You won’t even miss the bun!
