This was positively divine. I loved it. The butter and cream cheese gave it a lovely smooth, creamy consistency, and it tasted so good. I wish I had doubled there recipe so we could have had extra servings. The recipe didn't state how to prepare the zucchini, so I decided to leave the skin on (for the extra nutritional value), but I sliced them thinly so they would blend a little better. Thank you for sharing your recipe, chantal.brick. Made for Spring 2012 Pick-A-Chef.

<p>I am a university student who has done alot of traveling and I love trying new foods where ever I go. I am celiac, so things are a bit more difficult as I have to make all of my own food, and make it gluten free (and hope it still tastes great!)</p>
