Lovely way to serve Zucchini,its nice to able to prepare in advance so you can just pop it in the oven.I did substitute the green pepper for Red and half the chedder for a blue cheese(alocal on e here in S.Africa)just for a variation. -
This was really delicious - and an easy way to use a lot of garden veggies. Instead of chopping the veggies, I sliced them thinly in the food processor, along with a small potato that needed cooking. I also used feta instead of cheddar, as my grocery store frequently does not have cheddar available. The feta goes beautifully with the veggies. I liked the fact that no sauteing was required. -
Very savory! I cut this recipe in half and baked it in an 8x8 dish, no problem. I used both fresh green and yellow peppers. (which normally I don't eat peppers at all!) I loved the flavors...but do eat it right from the oven; it didn't reheat well. (was mushy) -
Great recipe! My husband isn't a huge zucchini fan yet he ate 1/4 of a pan of this! Will be making this often!

Delicious! It's a casserole, but the veggies get more of a roasted flavor. I used green and yellow zucchini for color. For the olive oil, I used 1/4 cup olive oil and the other 1/4 cup melted butter. Yummy! Thanx for sharing!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
