4 large zucchini (cut in half lengthwise)
2 cups mashed cauliflower
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 cup kale, chopped
1 cup spinach, chopped
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh thyme (chopped fine)
2 Tbsp coconut oil
Sea salt

Cut the ends off the Zucchini and cut lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds
and discard them, making a zucchini canoe. 

Scoop out some of the pulp
and put aside about 8 tablespoons to mix with the cauliflower. Make
sure to scoop out enough pulp so you can stuff with the filling.

Cut a little piece off the bottom of the zucchini so it can sit flat.
Add the 8 tablespoons of the zucchini pulp to the cauliflower. 

Cook
the onion, garlic, kale, and spinach for a few of minutes in a small
amount of water or coconut oil until cooked and combine with the
cauliflower and zucchini mixture. Add sea salt and thyme to taste.
Scoop mixture into the zucchini canoe and bake at 375 for 25 minutes
until the zucchini is tender.
