IBS-Friendly Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Over the years I have tried many different diets that have introduced me to all kinds of recipes, and this is one recipe I will always keep in my book: Stuffed Zucchini Boats. As always, I like to take what I’ve learned and make it my own, so I created an IBS-friendly version. This recipe is great if you’re trying to avoid triggers but also wanting to do something creative with your meals. If you try this out, please let me know what you think. Thanks!
